2010 release. The new wave of brutality and hardcore massacre has arrived. Tokyo punks Kriegshög are back with their first full length. After three lovable 7"s at LVEUM, they finally went for the album. Thirteen tracks of extremely bass-driven hardcore destruction. The recording is relentless, full of energy, and distorted. Yet, moving from the ultra blown-out recording of their earlier output. This is the band's most dynamic recording so far and in our humble opinion is destined to be a classic and genre-defining album. Second press of Kriegshög LP which La Vida Es Un Mus released back in 2010. Released in time for Static Shock Weekend 16 where Kriegshög will played their first ever European show. This time around the LP comes housed in a heavy-duty, paste-on board sleeve with heavy weight inner sleeve. Overall a top-quality packaging for a top-quality record.

Kriegshög is back. Five years after their last single and 14 since their debut album, the Tokyo Hardcore band finally delivers a new release. Love and Revenge is a record of consummate savagery and monster riffs. Picking up where the Paint It Black 7" left, and moving forward as a heavy toned hardcore record that finds the band in its own realm. While following the Japanese tradition of long running bands operating at their own pace and mastering their sound along the way. The band leave behind their speedier sound, moving now at a slower tempo but still pummeling their riffing sound. The incorporation of a new drummer, adds much more than a steady beat, amplifying the Kriegshög sonic experience. Their sound is still very bass driven, to the point of becoming nearly hypnotic -- quasi psychedelic at times, the guitar tone is crunchy and nasty and the vocal delivery has only got more brutal, with a glass eating demon on the mic conjuring the darkest side of your soul. Perfect for night rides into the abyss. Their influences are still there. With Kuro, Zouo, or The Clay shaking hands with the darkest '70s hard rock via Jerusalem and modern stoner rock via Kyuss or Sleep.

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 favor of a crunchier guitar tone but amped-up the songwriting to the next level with an overdose of riffs, attacking each note with their ferocious venom. These two tracks display both sides of Kriegshög perfectly, a mid-tempo bass driven four-minute banger backed up by a classic destructive sonic jam with the gnarliest punk vocals out there.
