History & Biography
Krux was a redundant epic doom metal band by Leif Edling of Candlemass fame between 2002 and roughly 2012. Candlemass was supposed to be broken up (temporarily, as it turns out) and the bassist constituted Krux. The band's hypothetical line-up was to include Arch Enemy guitarist Michael Amott and ex-Alien and Red Fun singer Tomas Person. Edling demoed material at the home studio of Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth). As it turns out, Candlemass had reformed, the Krux personnel overlapped with Candlemass - or would in the coming years - and both bands specialised in the same subgenre. The membership was also the kind that jumped from pay cheque to pay cheque regularly.

The debut album was released by Mascot Records in 2002. The band's (rare) live set included Candlemass and Abstrakt Algebra music. Live was recorded in Stockholm in 2003 and was a full-length video in that year. Guitarist Fredrik Åkesson and keyboardist Carl Westholm were added for II. The band opened for Satyricon. Marcus Jidell (Candlemass, Evergrey, etc.) helped out live in 2008.
