'Psychedelic' Death/Doom Metal. Hat was typisch aussiemäßiges, wenn man an Clagg und Space Bong denkt. Stonerriffs, Death Metal, Sludge bisschen was Schräges drin. Winter mit mehr Swing? Iron Monkey goes Dödsmetal? Keine Ahnung.
Mir gefällt es.
The second full length album of the Australian band The Dead is a brilliant mix of twisted, brain-warping death metal and miasmic sludgy/stoner doom. Perfectly arranged to maintain a sublime, engrossing balance, the combination of sharp, visceral hooks and massive doom trudges with remarkably groovy parts render Ritual Executions one of the most unique and fascinating albums to be released in this era. The remixing and remastering done by Aphotic Mote (Portal) specially for this DC Records version makes the originally dense and suffocating Ritual Executions much more breathable but retains the rawness and underground vibe that bring The Dead to life. The modified artwork sketched by vocalist Mike Yee suitably captures the essence and horrific otherworldly feel of The Dead's music - only a band member could achieve that.
Diabolical Conquest Records version of the sold out 'Ritual Executions' album has a modified colour artwork sketched by vocalist Mike Yee and is specially re-mixed and re-mastered by Aphotic Mote of the famed Australian death metal band Portal. It also has an 8-side booklet with additional artworks.
'Ritual Executions' is the first release of Diabolical Conquest Records.
