#BreakingNews : KRATON Unveil New Single “Spiritualité Sombre” 🔥

Luxembourg, Sept. 15, 2025 – The soul grinders of Luxembourg, KRATON, return with their brand-new single “Spiritualité Sombre”, a haunting and cathartic exploration of shadows, spirituality, and emotional confrontation.

📌 Key Highlights

🔘 Brand new single from Luxembourg's dark collective

🔘 Elegiac blend of Sludge, Post-, and Doom Metal

🔘 Unique, uncompromising sonic identity

Following the critically noted 2024 release of their second album Monolith, KRATON once again carve their name into the bedrock of modern Doom. With “Spiritualité Sombre”, the five-piece band delivers a track that unfolds like a ritual: slowly rising, oppressive and melancholic, carried by massive riffs and vast soundscapes. A calm, meditative interlude briefly breaks the tension—only to collapse into a devastating finale of sheer heaviness.

The accompanying video, directed by Martine Ludwig with visuals by Yannick Kohl, transforms the song’s essence into stark, symbolic imagery. Sparse light cuts through scenes of decay and transcendence, evoking a fragile balance between despair and elevation. The result is more than a video—it is a total audiovisual immersion into the abyss of existential emotions.

FLASHBACK: The Weight of KRATON

Founded in 2011, KRATON have steadily built a reputation for channeling raw emotion into their crushing blend of Sludge, Doom, Post- and Extreme Metal. Their music explores the darkest corners of human existence—melancholic, primal, and relentlessly heavy. With live performances ranging from intimate local venues to larger international stages, the band has forged a name synonymous with uncompromising heaviness.

The band’s moniker, KRATON [ˈkʁaːtɔn], is borrowed from geology—referring to the oldest, most stable parts of Earth’s continental crust. In their own words: “Heavy as something really heavy.”
