KRIEG – Announce New Album “Ruiner”

“Ruiner” the new full-length LP from time-honored US black metal entity KRIEG will see its release on Fri, Oct 13. Pre-orders now live HERE. A series of “Ruiner” record release shows are also going down in Nov. “Ruiner” is the first full-length from the cult US black metal force since 2014’s “Transient” and is a despondent expression that captures the classic KRIEG complexion which has solidified KRIEG as a vanguard and pioneer of US black metal.

Even though “Ruiner” is the first KRIEG full-length album in nine years, KRIEG has continued to remain active leading up to its long-awaited release through various splits, collabs and EPs. This all culminated in that moment for “Ruiner” to ultimately manifest itself.

“Ruiner” is unrepentant and remorseless black metal in the reflective manner KRIEG and mastermind N. Jameson have always been known for. Most-notably that of the savage and unhinged aura present in the triarchy of classic KRIEG works, namely “Destruction Ritual” (2001), “The Black House” (2004), and “Blue Miasma” (2006) while maintaining that harsh, sorrowful and cold-blooded melancholic aura.

Merciless black metal psychosis destined to leave desolate, “Ruiner” was recorded by Jeff Barrow and A. Poole, mixed by A. Poole and mastered by Dan Lowndes (Resonance Sound). “Ruiner” artwork by Rob Sheyder.
