Wartanas: Infernal Ritual
by ©Scarlet of whoresofchaos.com
01-02-2007

A deadly elixir! the essence of pure evil and the kiss of death swirl within the core of 'Infernal Ritual'.
The intro of 'Drowning in Afterbirth' commences with the distorted crackling of electrical arcing and
gritty black + white 60's style horror movie noise. The female vox sounds anything but human as she leads her willing victims to the altar of their demise. A decaying foetid atmosphere is created with a chainsaw buzzing of guitars and the steady flow of blakk ooze. 'Battle Cry of The Ancients' is a slow grinding torturous doom metal march becoming a funeral procession of the living dead. The rotting corpse then 'hangs 10' into 'Annihilation of the Ignorant' with a blakk n’roll surf sound to the guitars decomposing into a litany of hate within a mid tempo’d doom rock groove. In keeping with tradition,
the enemy is then decapitated and 'The Body Dies'. Instrumentation is funneled chaos that transforms
into the whirring of swarming insect intelligence. The bloodthirsty troops fall back into line and continue on in the doom march of the 'Apocalypse'. Raise your swords! 'Lies From The Throne'
 precipitates further rolling of heads and 'Bloodlust'! "You can run but you cannot hide" from these
 two fiends! 'Deny the Cross' "666!!" is lashing blakk n’roll thrash! Hail the 80's 'til the end.

Highly recommended to the adventurous fans of atmospheric raw blakk metal,
blakk n' roll and blakk thrash.
