Kruger - For Death

It make took them 3 years to return to the studio and record a new album, but finally the Swiss quintet is back with "For Death, Glory, And The End Of The World" and it seems ready to demolish everything that stands in its way. Still a proud member of the French label Listenable Records, the band seems to have changed its sound a bit, something that will sound pretty good to some, while not so good to others...

The guys from KRUGER, have maintained the complexity and heaviness that makes their sound distinctive, but they have become a more modern Metal act than a "classic" Post one. Their new album "For Death, Glory, And The End Of The World" brings them closer to the music of GOJIRA, without the extreme influences of course! The heavy and complex guitars meet the Sludge rhythm section and a tortured brutal voice, to create this slightly technical Sludge/Death & Roll album that will surely give you something that will become a good friend with your CD player. After many listening sessions, I realized that this album contains many things a modern Metal fan could ask for. It is brutal when it has to be, it is kind of "trippy" and it surely has this hidden Rock & Roll roots in it that is a weakness for almost every metalhead.

Their ability to "play" with the change of atmospheres is amazing, and the melancholic scenery behind this perfect balance between brutality and melody is what will drag you into this band's bizarre world. Give it a shot and see what KRUGER is all about.
