Max Kroven founded the band in 2009 and has been the sole constant of the group ever since.  He had previously played bass in a number of bands throughout United States, and after relocating back home to Chile in 2010, had a brief attempt of reviving an old Internet-only project in his country called Alember, but after a year of going nowhere, he decided to focus his entire time on reforming KROVEN on these Southern lands. He loves BC Rich guitars with a passion, but has a secret platonic love for Fender Jaguars. Currently learning Japanese (fun fact??).
