Ritualization are a band from France that plays a mixture of war, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2022 ep "Hema Ignis Necros" which will be released in August by Iron Bonehead Productions.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the ep while evil sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. When the music speeds up a great amount of war metal elements and brutal blast beats can also be heard while the vocals are mostly death metal growls and all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
A lot of the music also shows influences from the mid 80's to early 990's mixed in with a more modern day brutality. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads being done in more of an old school death metal style.
Black metal screams can also be heard in some parts of the recording and when tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling along with all of the tracks also adding in a small amount of horror orientated soundscapes, ethnic instruments and synths but keeping the focus on a heavier style. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Horror, Darkness and Death themes.
In my opinion Ritualization are a very great sounding mixture of war, black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Crown of Moloch". 8 out of 10.
