Background information about 'Rites Of Percussion'

The legendary Dave Lombardo unleashes his most ambitious and primal work yet with "Rites Of Percussion" – a thunderous expedition into the very soul of rhythm itself. This isn't just another album; it's a ritualistic journey through the ancient power of percussion, where every beat becomes a sacred invocation. Lombardo, the man who redefined metal drumming with Slayer, strips away all pretense and dives headfirst into pure, unadulterated rhythmic fury.

From the opening assault of "Initiatory Madness" to the hypnotic pulse of "Animismo", this collection transforms percussion into something mystical and otherworldly. Each track feels like a different chapter in an ancient ceremony, with Lombardo channeling decades of experience into something that transcends genre boundaries. The interplay between tribal rhythms and modern intensity creates an atmosphere that's both meditative and absolutely explosive. This is percussion as spiritual practice, drumming as transcendental experience.
