Ruiner

Ruiner is the first full-length from the cult US black metal force Krieg since 2014's Transient and is a despondent expression that captures the classic complexion that has solidified the band as a vanguard and pioneer of the genre.Even though Ruiner is the first Krieg full-length album in nine years, they have continued to remain active leading up to it's long-awaited release through various splits, collaborations and EPs. Those have all culminated in this ultimate manifestion.Ruiner is unrepentant and remorseless black metal in the reflective manner Krieg mastermind N. Jameson has always been known for. It harnesses the notable savagery and unhinged aura present in their triarchy of classic works, Destruction Ritual (2001), The Black House (2004), and Blue Miasma (2006), while maintaining a harsh, sorrowful and cold-blooded melancholic aura.
