Krieg

About

Krieg was formed in 1995 by Neill Jameson under the name Imperial . In 1997 the band name was changed to Krieg and Jameson went under the alias "Imperial" until going mostly by his given name from 2012 onward. Since 1997 the band has only had one permanent member, Jameson, with a variety of different personnel from North America and Europe filling in at various times. Krieg has had dozens of releases throughout various styles, originally chaotic but most recently becoming a mixture of black metal, crust and post punk. Original lyrical themes stayed mostly in topics of death, destruction and war but from 2002 onward have been more autobiographical dealing with mental illness, anger and a disdain for the ways of the modern world.
