The idea of this band formed in the fall of 2005, and has gone through names such as Imminent Threat and Bring Out Your Dead. It wasn't until the spring of 2006 until the band united and formed as Kryterium. This is a new era of Metal with the unique talents of this line up, Mike Chaves (vocals), John Karber (guitarist), Troy Komula (bassist), Cliff Schramm (drums), Jacob Carley (guitarist).

Kryterium pierces through the scene with it's heavy groove riffs, solid drumming, driving bass riffs, and aggressive vocals. The band soon will be out there playing as many shows as possible, ANYWHERE. This band is all about energy, aggression, and having a good time.
