Cromok is a thrash metal band from Malaysia. They are known to be an otai band (where the term otai refers to old-timers or pioneers) of thrash metal music.

Their song structures are characterised by very simple riffs and minimalist drumming overlaid with complex guitar solos.

The group sings in English. They are also known to have at least one instrumental track in every album. Sam uses a teutonic thrash vocal style, while the band's music sounds similar to the Bay Area thrash metal.
