The Krushers is a power-trio from Agrigento, Italy, now that plays a "Black - Thrash Metal".
Thanks to the followings bands: Motorhead, Venom, Hirax, Kreator, Celtic Frost, Cryptic Slaughter, Nuclear Assault, Schizo, Incinerator, Voivod, Destruction, Carnivore, Sacrifice and Slayer.
Born in 2001, only as a project by Tony Frenda (SS) (lead vocals/bass) and Giuseppe Peri (UR) (guitars/drum machine).
In this way, after having auto-produced a demotape called "The Godz of the Atom’s Starz" in Feb. 2001 and having received a very good response from the public, with the definitive arrival of Salvatore Arrigo (H) (drums) this project has become a real band.
In the Spring of 2001, The Krushers have produced another demotape, called "Rehearsal Tape 04/01" made of 4 pieces, in which a real string trio defines what will be the sound of the band.
