stoneja Imagine if Archgoat went off the farm, ate brown acid at a Demilich show and hallucinated a Morbid Angel. Multilayered, shape-shifting mind-meld of raw riffs aggression, weird atmospherics, and trance-inducing, pitch-dark grooves. The chasmal production aesthetics can't entirely obscure the killingsworthy mix here; the devil, as usual, is in the details and with a little extra effort, you'll soon start to pick 'em out. Savage and strange. This made my brain expand even as it caved in my skull.

Bart We all make that familiar grimace when you hear an especially tasty/sick riff. But with Vile Ritual, they aren't a one-trick pony. Sometimes it's a faster portion, while other times they have a crushing slow bit. Death metal that keeps things interesting, and this is well worth your attention/money. Favorite track: Aimless.
Dissonant Void

Dissonant Void Really sick bestial blackened death metal with some psychedelic and doom elements. Definitely has a raw and cavernous production but everything is pretty well balanced in the mix and the vocal effects with dissonant guitar really make things sound trippy at times. Impressive release! FFO Antediluvian, Impetuous Ritual, and Demilich.

about

Per Sentient Ruin:

"East Coast one-man psychedelic bestial death metal plague Vile Ritual finally emerges from the bowels of hades with its skull-crushing debut full-length album. On the forty-minute, eight-track death-riddled hallucinatory tesseract, Vile Ritual unites the animalistic violence of bands like Archgoat and Von with the technical and compositional excellence of progressive and atmospheric-leaning death metal bands like The Chasm, Timeghoul, Incantation, Infester and Demilich to unleash a mind-devouring hallucination of mutated dark and occult death metal carnage. In a way not dissimilar to what we've seen done by bands like Antediluvian, Howls of Ebb, or Chaos Echoes, Vile Ritual's aim with "Caverns of Occultic Hatred" is that of prying the listener's mind open with violence, expanding it to dissolve the consciousness and using alchemical, ritualistic and esoteric orchestrations to create a trance-like state that renders the listener trapped and disoriented, to then bludgeon them mercilessly with the carnage of the primeval and barbaric blackened death metal that shapes the other half of its darkened, gruesome soul. A record shrouded in shapeshifting ambivalence, "Caverns of Occultic Hatred" is a bleak and disembodied descent into the madness and chaos of primeval impulses, insanity, and of the dissolution of reality via total sensorial and auditory hallucinogenic death metal annihilation."
