Anti Ritual are a band from Denmark that h as been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of black, death, sludge metal, grind and hardcore and this is a review of t heir 2021 album "Expel The Leaches" which will be released on October 29th by Indisciplinarian.
Acoustic guitar playing starts off the album before going into a very fast grindcore direction which also uses a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are also in between hardcore style shouts and death metal growls while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and most of t he the tracks are very short in length.
When tremolo picking is utilized it also brings in elements of black metal while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Influences of sludge metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the music along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style when they are utilized.
On this recording Anti Ritual takes black, death, sludge metal, grind and hardcore and mixes them together to create a very aggressive sounding album. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover apathy and postmodernism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Anti Ritual and if you are a fan of black, death, sludge metal, grind and hardcore, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Expel The Leeches" "Necrocapitalism" "No Human Is Illegal" and "Franchise Coffee Bars & Internment Camps". 8 out of 10.
