Sanctifying Ritual are a band from Germany that plays a bestial mixture of war, black, death, thrash and speed metal and this is a review of their self titled album which will be released in June by Iron Bonehad Productions.
A very heavy and old school sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the music also bring in a great amount of tremolo picking, blast beats and war metal elements which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly blackened metal screams and dark sounding melodies can also be heard in some of the riffing.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very chaotic style while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 80's and 90's but modern at the same time. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some bestial growls also being utilized at times.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with some elements of thrash and speed metal also being utilized at times and as the album progresses a brief use of classical guitars can be heard before returning back to a heavier direction. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover gore, death and evil themes.
In my opinion Sanctifying Ritual are a very great sounding bestial mixture of war, black, death, thrash and speed metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "(Tales of The)Sinister Appearances" "Obsessed By Gore" "Throne Of Evil Atrocity" and "Abominable Death Rebels". 8/5 out of 10.
