Today, Iron Bonehead Productions announces
August 12th as the international release date for a brand-new mini-album
from Ritualization, Hema Ignis Necros, on CD and
12" vinyl formats.
It's been five long years since Ritualization's
widely acclaimed debut album for Iron Bonehead, Sacraments to the Sons of the Abyss.
While most of the lineup has stayed intact, new vocalist/bassist Daethorn
arrives from Merrimack, who's very much a fellow French underground veteran
like his bandmates. Together, the quintet deliver a three-song firestorm of
epic proportions in Hema Ignis Necros.
Indeed, "epic" is an apt descriptor for this three-song/26
mini-album, as the nuclear-powered bestiality of yore - channeled from death
metal's most infernal depths, as practiced by the elite lineage of
Angelcorpse/Perdition Temple, Centurian/Nox, and Ravager/Hacavitz - is welded
to winding, barbed-wire complexity of songcraft. Sharpened like a gleaming
blade, their sulfurous ultraviolence is finessed to an exceptional degree, with
terror and tension lurking in the record's more reposed moments. It's a
statement of intent, to be sure, and one that proves that serious blackened
death is still worth reckoning.
Ritualization may have
been away for some years, but on proof of Hema
Ignis Necros, their commitment to the faithful tradition of what
death metal must be is forever firm. Detonate & desecrate!

Moloch" HERE
