''DESTRUCTION RITUAL....COME ON FUKKER'S''

''THIS CONFESSION HAS MEANT NOTHING''

A destructive and feral, yet modern, black metal masterpiece.......2003-04-29

On the surface this album seems to be yet another of Krieg's blistering black metal attacks, using walls of trebly guitar punctuated by eerie melancholic breaks. The incessant drumming and droning guitar induces a trance broken only when the pace slows and reveals pulsating guitar that resonates despair.
But the album offers more still. For a start the sound is fleshed out despite having no bass and minimum guitar tracks. Destruction Ritual uses simple- almost undetectable- guitar riffs, hidden behind rhythmic drumming and blast beating; creating subtle melodies and messages. Partly thanks to reasonable production, but mostly due to the album's conceptual unity - its pure hate all the way.
This album needs to be listened to as a whole, again and again, as doing so will unleash a message of hate, despair and destruction...a recommended album.

Black metal's flat horizon.......2002-07-28

In a genre of music where ugliness and a refusal of compromise are marks of quality, Krieg stands alone at the cutting edge of a nihilistic aesthetic. Most raw, primitive black metal leaves spaces in it's sonic whirlwind for the listener's mind to wander through and explore. Whether it's the obscure melodic brambles of Darkthrone, Burzum, and Judas Iscariot; or the muffled, minimalist magma flows of Beherit, Demoncy, and Profanatica; even the most single-minded black metal creates a dark space where the subjectivities of artist and listener meet, even if only for the former to express it's contempt for the latter. Lord Imperial of Krieg, on the other hand, pins you against the wall, spitting venom in your face from an uncomfortably close position. Monotone shrieks and hammering, clear blastbeats are pushed to the front of the mix, negating any sense of physical distance. The droning, indiscernable guitars are so low in the mix that they sound like the distant buzz of aesthetic pleasure that Imperial's monstrous ego allows only as a taunting hint of what is being denied. This is black metal's crucial egotism without the usual rich expanse of nature to flesh out it's isolationist aesthetic. Imperial's subjectivity grotesquely expands to fill the already claustrophobic, two-dimensional world of "Destruction Ritual", proclaiming self-as-all, but refusing to get out of your face. In that, this music is both laudably unique, and a challenging, abrasive listen. When I first listened to this album, it came across as sloppy and one-dimensional. Repeated hearings have revealed the twisted genius behind the initially impenetrable ear-scouring. This is a music of sharp edges and blurred melodies. The distant haze of the guitars flows amorphously beneath Duane Timlin's jackhammer drumming and Imperial's inhuman screeching. Krieg is definitely not for your average symphonic black metal goth. Torturous and almost unbearably raw, it combines the immanent cut of physical noise with the intimidating philosophical stance of nihilistic underground black metal. Not an easy combination for the casual listener: "Destruction Ritual" demands engagement on your part with both it's raw-nerve sonics and explosive negative energy. Consider yourself warned. Prepare for a pummeling before exploring this gnarled chunk of concentrated nihilism.
