Synopsis

Album Description
The most anticipated Death Metal record of the decade is unleashed! Rarely, if ever, does music aspire beyond the merely physical, but for the spiritual, the supernatural, that which lies beyond ? to offer an experience for the listener, rather than just disposable, codified "product." The enigmatic Blood Ritual is an obvious, illuminating exception to this rule. Such is the sound of Blood Ritual?s long-anticipated second album, Black Grimoire. Nearly a decade in the waiting/making, Black Grimoire is the sound of death metal going beyond the physical, literally breathing the supernatural. With the experience that is Black Grimoire, Blood Ritual sets a new standard for melodic America Death Metal!
 

CD Reviews

Genre-bending, dark, and pretty damn good!
Barry Dejasu | Rehoboth, Massachusetts | 04/12/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is one of those "blackened death metal" albums, much in the same vein as bands like Dissection and later Behemoth. Deep, throaty vocals, more crunch-and-riff-driven rhythms, elegant leads and solos, and a crystal-clear production are plentiful on this album, and are often argued to be "untrue" elements to black metal. However, the Satan-centered lyrics and occasional atmospheric/epic passages add a darker flavor to the mix. Overall, this is a pretty decent album, and worth checking out if you need a quick fix of dark metal."
