\r\nItalian Heavy/Metalcore band, -The Ritual- formed in 2002 and after releasing one Demo the band managed to sign with Bakerteam Records. They are now ready with their very first official full length. \r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe album has the title, - The Fragile Horizon - and it’s a nice album that combines Heavy/Power with many modern Metalcore elements and nice production. Great guitars, nice bass and drumming and the voice of Marco Pastorino in a great melodic mood. The production is great and it’s a work of Federico Penazzato that did the production and mixing and Simone Mularoni who did the mastering of the album. The cover artwork also is an amazing job done by Nerve Design (Threshold, Nile, Legion Of The Damned, Vision Divine). \r\n

\r\n-The Ritual- are doing their very first steps with a great full length that has lots of music influences. From Heavy Rock and Heavy Metal to Power/Speed Metal even modern Metal and Metalcore elements are all around. Beside some pop-friendly choruses that I personally found a really good reason to vomit, this band is playing oldschool music but they manage to be fresh and modern . A good start for these Italian metalheads. \r\n
