Our Take
Our Take
RITUALS OF THE DEAD HAND’s latest release, 'The Wretched And The Vile,' is a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. The band has managed to create a sonic landscape that is both haunting and exhilarating, with each track offering something new and unexpected.
The album kicks off with the haunting instrumental track 'Cursed Ritual,' setting the tone for what’s to come. From there, we are taken on a journey through a cacophony of heavy riffs, pounding drums, and haunting vocals. Tracks like 'Blood Moon' and 'Sacrificial Lamb' showcase the band’s ability to seamlessly blend elements of doom metal and black metal, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.
One of the standout tracks on the album is 'The Dead Will Rise,' which features a guest appearance from the legendary metal vocalist, Corpsegrinder. His guttural screams add an extra layer of intensity to an already powerful track.
Overall, 'The Wretched And The Vile' is a solid offering from RITUALS OF THE DEAD HAND. While some tracks may be a bit too intense for the faint of heart, fans of doom and black metal will find plenty to love here. So grab your candles, summon the spirits, and prepare to be taken on a musical journey unlike any other.
