Pennsylvania's Krieg has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a merciless, remorseless and despondent form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Ruiner" which will be released in October by Profound Lore Records.
Dark sounding synths start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. All of the instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to t hem while t he vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the guitar riffing also adding in a good amount of melody at times.
Growls are also added into some parts of the music as well as adding in more of a bestial touch and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style, one track also brings in more of a war metal style along with some spoken word parts also being added on the closing song. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness, horror, suffering and philosophical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Krieg and if you are fan of this band, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fragments Of Nothing" "Manifested Ritual Horror" and "The Lantern And The Key". 8 out of 10.
