Krieg
Rise Of The Imperial Hordes
[Blood Fire Death]


This cd starts off with a very evil spoken intro, then leads to a soft gentle keyboard passage which represents the calm before the storm.. the storm that will wipe out mankind in one swift move

Vox - The vocals on this cd are the most insane, chaotic, fucked up vocals ever to be recorded onto disc... these truely must be heard to understand... fucking sick... at times its just a typical black rasp/scream, but then its layers of infernal screams/growls/other fucked up vocals... Amazing 10/10

Guitars - The guitars here are of the "thick fuzz" breed.. done much, much better than most bands who use this style.. portraying images of sick violence and armaggedon.. leaving you feeling ripped and torn at the end of this extremely violent cd.. Very Good 8/10

Bass - The bass here is un-heard.. very upsetting.. but does not detract from the music at all.. when it is heard, it is deep and muddled, adding thickness and rawness to the music... Upsetting 3/10

Drums - The drumming here is usually fast and chaotic!.. very war-like, in your face, I'm gonna chop your fucking head off like.. all over the place, (intentionally) sloppy playing that lets you know the end is near!!!! Very, very good 9/10

Synths - Used very rarely, but when used, it is in a very tasteful manner, not drawing away from the misanthropic violence in anyway, but yet, adding to it.. making you sure you are aware that the end is near... Very good 9/10

Samples - There are quite a few samples used here.. no, not scratches and other such gayness, but samples taken from movies and what not... they work very nicely and creates a feel for what the music is about.. I will not tell of what the samples are or what movies they come from.. I do not want to spoil it... Useful 8/10

Overall - This cd is the epitome of what black metal is all about... Pure and utter hatred and contempt for mankind!!! A non-stop assault of the ears.. don't get me wrong, this isn't just pointless blasting .. and it isn't always fast paced.. the music here is just extremely sick, violent, terrifying, and just escapes any known words... fucking insane.. I believe this cd is out of print, which is sad, as anyone who likes black metal should not be without it, as this is quite possibly my favorite cd. This is pure fucking armaggedon laid onto disc.. no one can touch krieg!! Find or die without what possibly could be the most destructive disc ever created... Amazing 9.9999999/10
