Kratos formed in 1983 in Cleveland, Ohio by brothers Bernie (Guitar, Vocals) and Bob Hanzel (Drums), along with Mike Davila (Bass). Before the first release, bassist Mike Davila was replaced by Paul Gregory. In 1985 Kratos released “Iron Beast” 12" EP on Private Press Records. The sound was very ‘traditional’ metal with hints of NWOBHM. At this time, the band was playing local gigs, opening for such bands as Celtic Frost and Overkill. By 1986, the band had started playing the more popular ‘thrash’ metal, and released a 2-song untitled self financed demo tape, and then finally releasing a self-titled EP in 1997 before calling it quits.
