Philly black metal unit Krieg is back with their first full-length album in nine years Ruiner, and a new single "Solitarily, A Future Renounced" streaming right now.
"Thematically and sonically this song is meant to pull myself back through almost thirty years of whatever you want to call it, my life's work I suppose, to the moment when I was sitting in my room listening to Pentagram over and over and deciding that this was how I planned to shape, break and rebuild my life," said Krieg mastermind N. Jameson of the single.
"There are very obvious nods to the Norse bands of the second wave, which is supposed to be taboo for American bands, but I've really given up caring about the rulebook written by what amounts to social clubs. This is the black metal I wanted to hear when I was sixteen, finally given life twenty-eight years later."
Ruiner is available for pre-order here. You can also catch the band at one of their few dates below.
