Kriegshog
Paint It Black/white Out
Tokyo powerhouse Kriegshög returns with a two track 7" of distorted hardcore punk perfection. Facing a line up change the band sound was altered slightly after the previous guitarist quit. The new line up may have taken the guitar fuzziness a notch down in favour of a crunchier guitar tone but amped up the songwriting to the next level with a overdose of riffs, attacking each note with the same ferocious venom they have us accustomed to. These two tracks display both sides of Kriegshög perfectly, a mid tempo bass driven 4 minute banger backed up by a classic destructive sonic jam with the gnarliest punk vocals out there. Quoting the band "Play Loud and DIE!!!" The high contrast black and white of their aesthetic and sound takes a new turn making room for a conceptual record.
