Failure Ritual "Failure Ritual"

Now this is some serious kvlt case. A dark, mysterious and odd find was this release by Failure Ritual, from whom i've heard nothing before and can't seem to find any info on the web. Nevertheless, this release is really from what nightmares are made of. Three tracks of buzzing droning and noisy black metal that will corrupt our soul almost for one whole hour. As i started to hear the title track "Failure Ritual" i fell into this trance and feel  like i'm tele-ported directly to the Dark Ages, right into the set of one of Bosch's paintings of Hell. The power that music sometimes have of making us creating these eery, fascinating scenarios in our head is truly amazing. And with Failure Ritual i can go there any time. The atmosphere is heavy and hypnotizing. At some points you can hear a agonizing voice breaking through this malefic barrier of noise, almost as a cry for help before being devoured by the bowels of Hell. If you would like some comparisons the only thing i can relate is something like a crossbreed between the industrial sludge of Halo, the dark ambient of In Slaughter Natives and the whirlwind of noisy and experimental black metal of Sutekh Hexen. The result is something really demolishing. Recommended strongly only to the fans of the bands mentioned.

  1. Hello, thanks for finding this, listening to it now, heavy atmosphere indeed. Great blog btw, glad to see
    you're not giving up on sharing quality tunes with us.
    Lot of stuff i listen to recently i found here. New Anhedonist for example, wow, such a great album, didn't
    expect it to be that good, demo was ok.

    1. It's good to see that someone else is enjoying this as well. Thank you so much for your comment. Really appreciated. Anhedonist's Demo was, well, a little bit more gloomier than this full-length, but in my opinion it still is a damn good Demo.

  2. Yeah, i agree for Anhedonist, just wanted to say that i was really pleasantly surprised when i heard new album,totally didn't expect it
    to be that good. Similar thing happened to me recently with new Antediluvian,they put out great stuff before that and i was like "o new album, cool" and when i presed play i fell off my chair,maaan that was some powerful shit :)

    This Failure Ritual, i don't know, it's hard for me to explain, i started to take interest in this sounds few years back and it
    was totally new world to me, at first i thought that i could not listen to this kind or similar stuff but then something clicked
    and i was totally hooked on a bunch of crazy shit.

    After listening to this , those sounds ringed in my head twenty minutes after it was finished :) i guess you have to be in right kind
    of mindset for this type of music, and when you are it's really
    rewarding.

    Ok, this is a little longer comment, so i'm off, thank you again for your effort with this blog, see you around :)
