Early 90's Black/Death metal with Czech lyrics and a fucking tympani player. Genuinely unique, the album manages to be unintentionally hilarious & brilliant at the same time while telling a story from beginning to end. Discuss this classic album.
Ritual is one of my current obsessions. Some of the best and riffiest Black Metal I have ever heard along with the first few Varathron releases. Absolutely BURIES The Jilemnice Occultist - no contest.
as for an actual physical copy - fuck if i know, man. something this badass has to be out of print. but what do you want to actually have the CD for, dude? you might as well collect vinyl.
and here's a fucking killer live set with mostly pre-Ritual jams
I'm a dork like that when it comes to obscure/classic metal albums... prefer to have an actual copy, original pressing if possible. Doesn't mean that I didn't just download those two links immediately though. Thanks.
