We are a METAL band from the Philippines.
Why this name?
We just like the sound of it and it rolls off your tongue pretty well...KRONOS. Plus, Cronos from Venom is such a metal icon and naming the band after him is fine by us.
Do you play live?
Yes we play live and we love it! We play anywhere we can, usually at underground gigs and bars. We're a live band more than anything else.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has made music from unsigned bands more accessible to the music fans.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure, why not? It's no big deal really, as long as we still get to have all the creative control over our material from the music to the artworks.
