HISTORY :

The band founded as a folk mettal metal in 2009 and then, they changed their style in 2011. The word "Krampus" is taken by a popular legend of the east part of Alps and is the name of some demons who, in the tradition, were evocated winter solstice to let them give vent to their evil intents during. In this way they wouldn't have disturbed or annoyed village people during the year. They were, and are, rappresented by young people wearing horned and furred demons costumes and using wood sticks to hit (and sometimes hurt) people in villages. But the tradition was involved in a process of christianization and today only a part of this legend is survived.
