Formed in 1989, CRUX was the first band in Korea to write and record a prog/power metal track. "Time Travel" was selected and featured on the Friday Afternoon compilation CD. The band's success continued when they went on to win the KBS PD Award in a nation-wide Battle of the Bands competition. CRUX is one of the few bands from that era that managed to survive. Moreover, the current incarnation of CRUX has turned out to be the strongest ever.
With the most recent lineup, CRUX has returned to its Heavy Metal roots while partially retaining its progressive influences. The band’s music also incorporates elements of thrash metal, power metal, death metal, hardcore, and hard-rock among others.
