Our Take

"Rituals of the Dead Hand's latest offering, 'The Wretched And The Vile', is a mesmerising journey into the depths of the macabre. This opaque grey/black galaxy vinyl edition adds an extra layer of darkness to an already sinister listening experience.

From the haunting opening track 'Cursed Relics' to the blood-curdling finale 'Echoes of the Abyss', each song on this album is like a twisted tale from the crypt. The vocals are both chilling and powerful, with guttural screams that will send shivers down your spine.

The musical arrangements are equally spine-tingling, with razor-sharp guitar riffs and thunderous drum beats that create an atmosphere of impending doom. The band's ability to blend elements of black metal, doom metal, and gothic rock is truly impressive, resulting in a sound that is both hauntingly beautiful and utterly terrifying.

Standout tracks include the bone-chilling 'The Funeral March' and the epic 'Rituals of the Dead Hand', which showcases the band's knack for creating intense, atmospheric music that leaves a lasting impression.

Overall, 'The Wretched And The Vile' is a must-listen for fans of dark, atmospheric metal. Rituals of the Dead Hand have truly outdone themselves with this album, crafting a sonic masterpiece that will haunt your dreams for years to come."
