Shoddy At The Gates / Dissection rip-off. This is even more boring and lifeless than Deflorate was

Nocturnal was their finest hour.

I personally believe that TBDM have out done themselves with every release and Ritual is no different. However, what makes it that much better I think is the mid-paced death metal tracks instead of a 40min blast fest. This album slays and is so bloody addictive! I have not stopped listening to it since it’s release. Fantastic artwork & lyrics too. Hopefully they’ll make it back to Oz again soon. Good review, cheers.

Made me giggle like a schoolgirl for some reason. :P

Boring third-rate At The Gates clone. No thanks.

I truly think it’s still their best effort.
