REVIEW: Kruger - Redemption Through Looseness Listenable Records, 2007
7/10
Kruger - Redemption Through Looseness - cover art Kruger is one of the multitude of younger acts who have been influenced by formative metalized post-hardcore pioneers such as Isis, Neurosis and Mastodon. The Swiss band was formed in 2001 and have strangely enough performed at a jazz festival where I suspect more than a handful people were in for a big surprise. "Redemption Through Looseness" is a very rich and diverse album where fans of all aforementioned bands are likely to find a cup of their tea. In the midst of all anguished screams, intricate guitar structures and experimental song writing there are traces of Scandinavian melancholy á la Cult Of Luna to be found as well. Every element of Kruger has been packaged in a thick and powerful production courtesy of sound magician Fredrik Nordström. Kruger is an aggressive, violent, experimental and interesting new act to keep your eyes on. Does progressive industrial dronecore metal sound good to you? They may be the first of its kind. If these guys continue to grow and mature they will definitely be a force to be reckoned with in the future. Music for the mind.
