Rijeka metal band Kryn play Zappa Baza in Belgrade on September 12 at 22:00, with NIT supporting. The concert was originally scheduled for March and postponed to September. Tickets are around 1,160 denars.

The band's story starts in 2004 under the name Downfall, in death metal waters. A change of direction brought a change of name, and in 2008 the band became Kryn. Since then the sound has moved towards a combination of heavy and melodic riffs, a dark atmosphere and a vocal that carries the full weight of the songs.

The debut album "Scars Remind Me" came out in 2014. The long-awaited second album, "Risset", only arrived in December 2024, with ten songs, and was launched to a full Pogon kulture in Rijeka. The band has played more than 150 concerts across Europe to date, and in 2022 performed at Wacken Open Air, the largest metal festival in Germany.

Twenty-two years from the first line-up to the second album is a pace that says something about how the metal scene works in this region. The bands do not break up, they just record less often.

Zappa Baza is a club on Bulevar vojvode Bojovića, in an industrial space that has long hosted a good share of Belgrade's harder concerts. For Kryn, it is their first Belgrade stage since "Risset" came out. Panteon Promotions is the organiser, and tickets are on tickets.rs.
