Kryterium

Since the spring of 2006, Kryterium® pierces through the scene with their die hard contribution to the metal world. In less than a year, Kryterium was already playing on the main stage at the Milwaukee Metalfest XIX. Soon after, they won the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands, which allowed them to play at the Van's Warped Tour 2007 in Idaho. In September 2007, they played New England's biggest Rock fest, Locobazooka! 07. The band released their debut album, "Control" in winter 2007. The album "Control" was mastered by Brian Gardner (Lamb Of God, Ozzy Osbourne) in Los Angeles, California. In March of 2008, their song, "Unlock The Gates", was a featured track on the collector's CD in Metal Edge Magazine. Then in Spring 2009, they played on the main stage at Locofest 2009 in West Palm Beach, Florida and rocked it at the 3rd Annual California Metalfest in Anaheim, California. Kryterium kicked off the summer of 2009 right by being the only unsigned band on the main stage at the Summer Slaughter Tour in Anaheim.
