Krank, formerly also known as Kraang in various spellings, is one of the main projects of prolific Australian drummer John Murphy (Shining Vril, Knifeladder, Last Dominion Lost, Ex-SPK). While doing percussion for a large number of bands on a regular basis, Murphy revives Krank only in longer intervals, and shows up with a rare number of gigs and recordings. Besides recent contributions on Epicurean Escapism compilations in 2012 and 2014, Verdant Hum is the first official release by KRANK since the debut album “Chaos“. Since 2007 Till Brüggemann and Annie Stubbs have been core members of Krank.
