Emerging
from the hidden layers of the New York City underground, Absent Ritual operates as a strange trio pumping out
extreme noise. These guys crawled out of obscure, avant-garde circles, tossing
progressive rock ideas and heavy metal elements into a swirling cauldron. They
play on their own bizarre wavelength, churning out a twisted mix of extreme
music entirely drenched in hallucinogenic madness. "The Cryptic Descent: A
Compilation Of Madness" marks the first time they have officially
unleashed their sonic rituals to the masses.
The guitars wail wildly on
"Darkness Divine", adding a deranged layer to the traditional shrieks
and frantic drumming. They plunge deep into extended labyrinths of bizarre
chord progressions. The musicianship stays completely raw, avoiding modern
studio tricks entirely. The production screams ancient analog decay, capturing
a pure basement jam session gone horribly wrong. The guys are just playing
whatever dark visions enter their heads.
Score: 7.5
