Esoteric Ritual are a solo project from Sweden that plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of his 2020 demo "Journey Through The Chasm Below" which was released as a joint effort between Narbentage Produktionen and Wulfhere Productions.
Ritualistic sounding synths start off the demo before going into a heavier direction while the only song that is presented on the recording is over 15 minutes in length When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very dark yet melodic style and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats and tremolo picking can b e heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the song also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, all of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them as well as the spoken word parts also enhancing the ritualistic aspect of the music when they are utilized.
Esoteric Ritual plays a style of occult black metal that is very raw and ritualistic sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism and Esotericism themes.
In my opinion Esoteric Ritual are a very great sounding occult black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this demo. 8/2 out of 10.
