This is the newest release from the USBM horde Krieg. With it comes some major changes.
First of all, Krieg has a complete lineup now, instead of Imperial doing everything. Second of all, the music is actually structured and audible. Guitars are no longer just raw buzzsaw-like static, but actually stick out with audible riffs, mostly tremolo picked, but there are many heavy, powerful sections throughout the album as well. The guitar riffs are also more complex at times, instead of just one riff speed picked the entire song. There are even a few solos scattered throughout, like on Fallen Princes of Sightless Vision. There is also a bass this time around, and it makes this release have an even fuller sound, and it's even audible sometimes. Drums are precise and solid, with a ton of neat fills throughout. The blastbeats don't sound like noise this time around like they have in the past. Cryptic Winter did an excellent job this time. Imperial's vocals are harsh, grim, raw, piercing, you name it. He did a fantastic job, even throwing in some growls here and there.
The Velvet Underground cover is also a highly enjoyable listen to. By adding their own elements to this song, they make it their own.
The production is also much much better on this record. Basically, Krieg has taken an almost 100% turn around with this album. Yeah production isn't Cradle of Filth-like, but who gives a shit?? I don't and they wouldn't sound this killer if they did anyway. Another thing that sticks out is the overall atmosphere. It is definately something that will take you away to lands of darkness and eerie, grim forests.
I hail Imperial and the rest of the horde for making this fuckin grim album. Black Metal doesn't get much better than this. I recommend this album to any diehard BM fan, and even if you are a trendy fucker, try this out, and be converted to TRUE BM.
Standout tracks: Murder Without the Burden of Conscience, Fallen Princes of Sightless Vision, A Process of Dying, Venus In Furs, shit, the whole album fuckin rules!!
