Background information über 'Rituals'

“Rituals” by Rotting Christ, released in 2016, is an album that elevates the spiritual depth and dark mysticism of Black Metal to a more profound level. It seamlessly blends intense, raw metal elements with ritualistic sounds and Gregorian-like chants, creating an atmosphere that is almost trance-inducing. The compositions unfold within a tension between powerful aggression and ceremonial grandeur, offering a multi-layered and immersive listening experience that makes “Rituals” stand out.

Lyrically, “Rituals” draws from religious and mythological themes inspired by various cultures and eras. Rotting Christ weaves these cultural references into a narrative that explores both ancient and contemporary interpretations of rituals and ceremonies. In this sense, “Rituals” becomes an artistic statement that challenges the boundaries of the genre, inviting the listener to reflect on spiritual and existential themes.
