Metal Anarchy

Time for the next edition of Metal Anarchy’s “new music showcase,” the feature where I introduce you to artists that readers of this site may find interesting. This time I have a Q&A with Kazaran’s Caiden Crafts.

METAL ANARCHY: Tell me a little about your band:

CRAFTS: We’re a metalcore trio from Adelaide, South Australia made up of myself (Caiden Crafts) Travis Jones, and Rory Amoy. We’ve played live with additional members: Samuel Burns, Benjamin Batty, and Matthew Zipeto.

METAL ANARCHY: Who are your main influences?

CRAFTS: We have a passion for early 2000s metalcore and enjoy writing songs that influence that style. Bands such as Killswitch Engage, All That Remains, Lamb of God, Parkway Drive and Arch Enemy are among our influences.

METAL ANARCHY: What is your latest release and why should readers of this site check it out?

CRAFTS: Our latest record titled ‘In Possession’ came out on March 27th and is our second EP released next to our first ‘Lost Amongst The Living.’ The record features FALTER and False Dawn, both vocalists from our hometown of Adelaide, and they add so much to the tracks they are a part of. The record in full is heavier and darker than our previous releases, but also shows a new strength in power and sound that we’re excited to continue using going forward.

METAL ANARCHY: What can people expect when they go to your live shows?

CRAFTS: We love to get people involved in our shows and I personally enjoy inviting all our featured artists and collaborators to come down and join in on their tracks, so you never know who may show up and grace the stage with us. However, at the current time we aren’t doing live shows.

METAL ANARCHY: Where do you see your band heading in 5 years?

CRAFTS: Recording and enjoying metal music.
