Krampus was born in 2009 from an idea of Riccardo Romanelli to create a Folk Metal band.
The original sound was a classic folk metal with a clean voice by Axel Lessio but after a few changes in the lineup and the entrance of the new singer Filippo Gianotti the band moved towards a aggressive sound more influenced by melodic death metal.
After a few local gigs they released their first self-producted Demo in April 2010 promoted locally.
The sound of the band shifted definetly to a mix between Folk Metal and Melodic Death and in summer 2010 the new pre-production for "The Rocks of Verden" was released on the band MySpace. In late Summer Alessandro Galliera took the place of Riccardo and Matteo Sisti joined the band. The band started to write new songs and in October 2010 the band entered the studio, with Giacomo "Jack" Barboni and Filippo Gianotti as producers, to record their new EP "Shadows of Our TIme" released in march 2011.
