Kriegshög

Kriegshög is a powerhouse of the Japanese hardcore punk scene, known for their raw, unrelenting sound that combines the brute force of d-beat drumming with walls of noisy guitar distortion and howling vocals. The band, based in Tokyo, maintains a shadowy presence in the genre, sparingly issuing releases that quickly become sought after in underground punk circles worldwide. Since emerging in the mid-2000s, they have become synonymous with the Japanese tradition of crafting hardcore music that is as ferocious in its execution as it is meticulous in its sonic assault.

The group's recent releases, including "Paint It Black / White Out," "General," and their self-titled "Kriegshög," continue to showcase their bleak lyrical themes and an aesthetic deeply rooted in the darker realms of punk. These recordings are characterized by their lo-fi production, which manages to capture the dense, chaotic energy of their music. The band's fierce, scorching tracks and visceral live performances encapsulate the raw spirit of punk, making Kriegshög a revered name among enthusiasts of the hardcore punk subculture and an enigmatic force within the international punk rock landscape.
