Reverend Kriss Hades is an artist and musician best-known as the guitarist of influential death metal band Sadistik Exekution.
His frenzied but precise guitar-playing style has earnt him respect among metal musicians worldwide.[1]
Solo career
As Sadistik Exekution became less active, Hades focused on his solo music and live performances. His live solo performances consist of complex guitar loops built-up against a backing tape of simple percussion and rhythm guitar. ex-Nazxul bandmate Morte provides vocals. The performances are ritualistic and invariably end with the destruction of Hades' guitar and other equipment in range of his axe or knife.[2]
Artwork
Much like his music, Hades' artwork is often occult-related and conveys an extreme state of chaos. His artwork has been used as the front cover for other metal bands including Portal's Vexovoid, Ruins' albums and Shining merchandise.
