History
Krisiun was formed in 1990 by sibling trio of vocalist/bassist Alex Camargo, guitarist Moyses Kolesne, and drummer Max Kolesne. Camargo billed himself as Alex Kolesne but has used his mother's maiden name as his stage name since 1995. They have toured North America, South America and Europe, recording their first official DVD in Poland.
The band is influenced by the debut albums of Sodom, Kreator, Morbid Angel and Slayer. Their violent lyrics and fast musical tempo make them an eminent extreme death metal band.
They released three demos before moving to São Paulo in 1995.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
