RITUAL NECROMANCY - Disinterred Horror
Dark Descent Records
A few years back, alright it was 2011, this Portland based death metal act released their full length debut Oath of the Abyss. If you missed out on it then well you can be forgiven. 2011 was a very good year for death metal, as was 2009 & 2010. While back then the mainstream metal media was touting hipster crap, OSDM was in a revival that frankly is still in bloom today. Hell back then Dark Descent Records was still looked upon as a small upstart underground label. Nowadays they're the best record label in the US.
Also back in December of 2011 I said of this band's debut release, without going through a line by line description, that it was decent. So here we are seven years later. Since then they've released an EP. But as far as this full length goes it's still decent. Their worship at the alter of AUTOPSY, INCANTAION and PORTAL has not abated. On the contrary it has gotten more intense. Which to me is fuckin cool since the latter name dropped bands haven't done shit over the years.
RITUAL NECROMANCY's Disinterred Horror is the stand in that out performs the main actor who's sick that night but after one performance wins the lead spot. They're still worshiping at the altar of old (who doesn't?) but they've learned by introducing a more doom atmosphere to their songs. Torture only works if it's extended over a longer period of time. Toss in a better song craft which keeps even jaded fuckers like myself glued to every moment you deliver.
The bottom line here is clear, Disinterred Horror is not the ground breaking death metal release of 2018. Thank you so fuckin much because there are times throughout this release I am glued to the extremities as well as foreboding touches this band creates. Hell Fuckin Yeah and attach the electrodes to my nuts, I am ready for more you pretentious fucks! That's my credo while listening to this winner. Seven years is worth the weight for greatness like this.
