D. Heavy, dense, punishing, glorious.

Viktor Forsberg Dark, crushing and highly listenable death. 666☆\10 *I was listening to this a month later and went back to make sure I said something about how fucking good this album is. Favorite track: Ritual Burial.

cotterluppi They gargle with pebbles and it’s beautiful.

Christopher Charlot Blackened death metal filth on the always consistent Sentient Ruin imprint. Pre-ordering the l.p. was a no brainer.

John Herne Well my New Year's resolution to cut back on BC purchases just went out the window. Filthy downtuned blackened death metal on Sentient Ruin. Just buy it! Favorite track: Tongues of the Exanimate.

about

SRUIN158
The gruesome occult hymns of Vile Ritual churn with incantations of eons past to incarnate a most disfigured vision of deviated and perverse blackened death metal ritualism. Born of the black flame of ancient atrocious subterranean rites, "Tongues of the Exanimate" sees the sounds of ghostly utterances travel over cavernous ambiance to create a disembodied, trance-like state, while inhumanly crushing riffs bludgeon the listener and entomb them in a suffocating and grotesque aural burial. Both horrific yet timelessly evocative, Vile Ritual's esoteric blood-drenched blackened death metal melds the feral pestilence of 90's bestial black metal acts like Von and Beherit with hallucinatory atmospheres and the crushing low end of old school death metal butchers like Infester, Rippikoulu, and Imprecation to create a hideous yet hypnotic hallucination of gnarled arcane death metal savagery and abandon. "Tongues of the Exanimate" conjures similar ritual-drenched phantasmal death metal deformities as we've seen in other iconic deviant bands in the genre like Antediluvian, Necros Chrstos, Sect Pig and Chaos Echoes, and is the most recent manifestation in this obscure entity's foul but masterful reveling in total surrealistic ritual death metal barbarity; a 12" vinyl and cassette tape compilation LP envisioned by the band and Sentient Ruin unison that combines three brand new and previously unreleased rituals along with a completely remixed and remastered revision of Vile Ritual's masterful 2019 self-tiled debut demo tape.

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
