Kramp is a Madrid-based heavy metal outfit formed in 2010 that serves as a cornerstone of the modern Traditional Heavy Metal (Trad Metal) revival. Led by the commanding vocals of Mina Walkure, the band's sound identity is deeply rooted in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) and the early 80s European power metal scene.
Their work, particularly the 2020 standout 'Gods of Death', is characterized by galloping basslines, harmonized guitar leads, and a lyrical focus on epic themes, mythology, and mortality. In 2023, the band underwent a significant rebranding, changing their name to Bronze to reflect a new chapter in their career, though they maintain the same core sonic DNA. Critically, they are praised for their 'old school' authenticity and refusal to adopt modern metal tropes like guttural vocals or digital-only production. They occupy a cultural space alongside other revivalist acts, appealing to a cross-generational audience of vinyl collectors and festival-goers who value the genre's foundational aesthetics. Their influence web connects back to Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, while their peer group includes contemporary Spanish metal acts and the broader global 'New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal' movement.
