Krokmiten is Simlev's experimental Death Metal studio project. [pronounced croc-me-ten] Syn: Boogeyman. Cajun spelling of the french word "croque-mitaine". A shapeless imaginary being used by adults to frighten children into behaving. Formed in 1991 as a full-fledge gigging band, Krokmiten was shelved by Simlev in 1995 and reactivated in 2005 as a studio project exclusively. Orchestrating the project within his Montreal studio, composer Simlev intricately partners with thoughtfully selected session musicians for every project iteration. Krokmitën specializes in conceptual and experimental one-track albums built from the ground up like a movie score or a classical piece. While rooted in Death Metal, Krokmitën fearlessly delves into cinematic and and dark atmospheric realms, seamlessly navigating across musical boundaries. Favoring a DIY approach and releasing music for free is part of Krokmitën's concept and ideology. 2024 Line-up : Simlev (Guitar + Vocals) & John Longstreth (Drums)
