I hadn't heard anything from them before, but just skimming Ritual now and yeah that's more what I was expecting!

Yeah man, they used to be really wild but I think that, following the last Fire! albums (the trio), where everything was more laid back and even straight out drone, they kinda brought that influence to the orchestra too.
I do love the result though, specially the vocals, and the way they build atmosphere here. 5'd it because honestly couldn't find anything I didn't like, but I understand some folk expecting Ritual II won't feel the same way.

Only given this a cursory glance so far (one background-ish spin) but man some of those vox are stunning. I need more time to appreciate all the different elements here.

This really demands a relaxing, no rush, headphones listen, Demon. Can't recommend it enough.

It passed the acid test and thus earns a promotion, it's currently awaiting a seat at the top table. I'll be sure to arrange an appointment at the first possible opportunity.
Nice review btw, your writing persuaded me to give this a shot.

That's always my intention and I'm always happy to read that, thanks Demon.

Stunning track. I get the feeling if this was less chilled and more unhinged, noisier and generally busier I’d find it overly abrasive. I’m pleased this is generally quite controlled, it’s genuinely beautiful at times. The vocals are amazing.

🔥Fire!🔥
You know it man. Agreed, the vocals are what floored me at first. With more listens you start to discern the amount of details this thing has.

DD I'd be surprised if you'd 4.5 this, but a wise sage like you can surely appreciate the hidden doom influences on this excellent recording.
