Krieg "Destruction Ritual" CD

session drums: Duane Timlin
No bass was used on this recording: nothing but sheer audial torture

Ever since Slayer's 'Reign in Blood' came out I've been listening to extreme music. In recent years, I've begun searching for the most extreme among extreme releases, and one of my most deranged, insane, brutally extreme cd discoveries has been this album by Krieg. Now, this is exactly what your parents would label 'just noise', and for once I wouldn't disagree. This is absolutely wild, ugly, and beautiful. No melodies, no riffs to speak of - just uglier-than-buzzsaws-sounding guitars, blastbeat drums and truly hatefilled, demented screaming. I love it! But if you prefer your black metal 'symphonic' or 'melodic' or otherwise shiteish, you've got to steer clear of this cd. Standout tracks, you ask? Well, not really. This album does sound quite uniform all the way through, but that does not, in my humble opinion, make it any less great. This is black metal for people who prefer the raw, uncomprosing thing. I do - this is as great as it is evil.
