KorovaKill is an Austrian avant-garde metal band. It emerged in 2000 from the disbanded band Korova .

Band history

The core cast of KorovaKill was active as Korova in the 1990s. Her two albums A Kiss in the Charnel Fields (1995) and Dead Like an Angel (1998) are among the early works of the avant-garde metal movement. Korova was disbanded in 2000 and reformed as KorovaKill a few months later. In 2001 KorovaKill released the album WaterHells on the American label Red Stream. The album was produced by Markus Stock and contains 12 songs, which flow seamlessly into one another and form an overall concept. It is about a man who wakes up floating in the middle of the sea without memory and then sinks into the depths.

The only album to date , WaterHells , was voted into the top 10 of the most important avant-garde metal albums of the decade by the readers of the web magazine Avantgarde-Metal.com at the end of 2009 .

In 2011 KorovaKill announced their comeback. 10 years after WaterHells , the concept album PhantasmaChronica will be released in September 2011 . In addition, the band announced their renaming in Chryst.
