Today, the USA-based black metal collective Krieg released its new full-length, Ruiner, via Profound Lore Records on vinyl, CD, and all digital platforms.
Krieg's Ruiner is the first full-length from the long-running and iconic cult since 2014's Transient and is a despondent expression that captures the classic band complexion, which has solidified the band as a vanguard and pioneer of US black metal. Although Ruiner is the band's first full-length in nine years, Krieg has continued to remain active leading up to its long-awaited release through various splits, collaborations, and EPs. All this 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, Destruction Ritual (2001), The Black House (2004), and Blue Miasma (2006), while maintaining that harsh, sorrowful, and cold-blooded melancholic aura. Merciless, despondent black metal psychosis destined to leave one desolate.
Ruiner was recorded and mixed by guitarist A. Poole, mastered by Dan Lowndes (Resonance Sound), and completed with artwork by Rob Sheyder.
Jameson writes: "Ruiner is the completion of a thematic trilogy starting with The Isolationist, a journey of the many faces of the self in various forms of despair and decay leading finally to acceptance. The most spiritually difficult step of the journey, yet somehow the easiest subconscious leap to make. This is the authentic personal definition of what Krieg and black metal stand for in my world and I hope others find something of value in it".
In support of Ruiner, Krieg has booked a short run of Northeastern US shows hitting New York City, Providence, and Philadelphia from 10 to 12 November.
