KRIEG (USA) – ‘Sono Lo Scherno’ CD

Second full length from long running US black metal band Krieg, recorded between 1998 and 1999. Fans of Krieg’s newer works may not recognize the early sound of the band which was built upon sonic aggression, ambient pieces, samples and layer upon layer of caustic vocals. This is a document of the American black metal scene in its growing pains, a brash scene unconcerned with the more nuanced takes their European counterparts had constructed and long before bands were more concerned with their haircuts and advertising deals than the core tenets of black metal.
