One man extreme metal act Kratornas is unleashing the next single "Evil and Plunder" off the forthcoming full-length album “God of the Tribes”, mastered by Dan Swanö (Dissection, Bloodbath, Marduk, Incantation), and is set for release on August 22, 2025, through Grathila Records.

The track is a blistering 3-minute descent into ritualistic chaos and psychological warfare. Unlike the band’s earlier hyperfast brutality, this song embraces a slower, more instinctual pacing that feels like a ceremonial march through scorched earth. It trades blast beats for hypnotic grooves, creating tension through repetition and raw texture. Its lyrical themes evoke sacrificial rites, spiritual rebellion, and the collapse of false idols. Recorded without compression or metronome, the track pulses with primal energy and is meant to feel “alive” in the listener’s head.

Kratornas comments on the single:

"This is about the world falling apart, with endless creeping war and violence. "Demons" rise, plague spreads, and the idea of peace is nonexistent. The lyrics talk about secret societies and symbols of ownership hidden in plain sight, with people turned into slaves (as seen on the album cover). It depicts a world ruled by greed and cruelty, where religion and authority become tools for mass murder, and no one is spared from the upcoming slaughter."
