Ritual - Dark Cathedrals

[9MAGGOT4LIFE]

I really hope that annoying squeaking isn't on the album...

[bcgl9mm]

These dudes are from my hometown....it has been so many years since i have heard this badass album

[Femion64]

Just... awesome!

[exactinmidget92]

i cant believe that US made a good BM band, i always thought we had no good music

[FuneralRainRecords]

The new Ritual album, 'The Resurrection' is out now, for those that might be interested. Just check out my profile if you want to hear some new tracks, and/or to order.

Thanks for keeping this track up hound667. You're doing the world a great service by helping expose this wonderful band.

[Caporacolo]

PLEASE, reupload this, the sound has been fucked up in time, i remember it more than a year ago with the perfect sound, i want this version!

[BelphegorXVI]

This is fuckiiin' great \m/

[JesusPrototype]

I like death metal but black is...

[chandygarcia]

I think secondhand serenade copied the music of this song,

there song something more.

[ianritual]

One of my first masterpieces has reached over 20,000 views! Thanks my friends!

[MisterKyleHarper]

@ianritual Your music is suberb.

[Effekt47]

@ianritual Out of all the Black metal bands out there mostly in Norway, I gotta say that ur probably one of the best musician i've ever heard, Greetings from Scandinavia

[krisx15]

RE RELEASE THE FUCKIN ALBUM

[ilovesoda]

the beginning sounds a bit like eminem - stan

[toothneck]

@ilovesoda Because it is. They stole it from me. This song was written and recorded a good 5 years before eminem's or dido's.

[steamzk8ta]

where can i download this album from? maybe a torrent or megaupload. please tell me, i am really interested in this type of black metal and i would love to own all of their albums

[toothneck]

@steamzk8ta You can download it from myspace/ritualblackmetal . Support the bands you like by buying their music.

[duvexy]

All hails to Ritual! \m/

[ianritual]

New Ritual full length coming soon! youtube /ianritual, myspace /ritualblackmetal

[Megadragon007]

Donde puedo conseguir este disco?????????

[rafax666]

[CursedLovee]

"""in nomine dei nostri satanas luciferi excelsi"""

[grimjer]

Excellent and well put together!

Pride in Satan!

[sepulturero841]

Grandisima canción!!

[louiscfc93]

amazing

[krisx15]

ware the fuck can i pick up this album???

[astaroth6969]

@krisx15 try ebay or myspace contact - hails

[MisterKyleHarper]

@krisx15 I regret you inform you but this album has been out of print for a LONG time, the chances of you getting The Summoning are very low, but there are some sites where you can download it if you do that kind of thing..

[krisx15]

@MisterKyleHarper yea fuck that if i cant find i copy ill live without.

[MisterKyleHarper]

@krisx15 It's out of print... you could try ebay though.. next to impossible to get.

[andrew12awesome]

@krisx15 I found it at Ameoba Music in California. But that was a while ago. They do have a new album out that I must say is pretty fucking awesome. Probably the best USBM band I've heard in a while.

[holymetal777]

@andrew12awesome i just picked up the new album in Amoeba today! i was a little skeptical at first cause i saw a lot of bad reviews for the album but its not too bad actually

[andrew12awesome]

@holymetal777 I do prefer this album over The Ressurection, but The Ressurection is still pretty damn good.

[swrb6]

if this band isnt christian than wat are they?

[Grotlord]

I'm not sure, but I think the inverted cross and the pentagram on the back of the album should give you some clue...

[swrb6]

i still dont understand wat it is

[swrb6]

is this a christian band?

[Marc2977O]

Christian band??? good joke fag.

[swrb6]

so is that a yes or no???

[Bassimastprime]

Nope.

[sethnuva]

@swrb6 this is BLACK metal not WHITE metal...bit of a difference really

[swrb6]

@sethnuva is their a such thing as white metal?

[sethnuva]

@swrb6 ya but the technical name for it is christian metal. kind of a contradiction if you ask me... lol

[maidenslayer]

@swrb6 - All white metal music is, is black metal music with lyrical themes promoting Christianity instead of hating it. I hate religion. Antestor is a 'so called' white metal band though that are pretty good (musically).

[purplesquirrl]

@maidenslayer Personally I don't hate religion, I just hate most religious people, because they haven't figured out keeping a big black leather bound book on the bookshelf and being a hypocrite don't make you a good person... Look at Jesus's teachings themselves, not bad. Care for other people, don't fuck your neighbors wife and steal his shit, that's some good advice. If Christians lived by that I wouldn't have a problem with them at all.

[Toujours3Fidele9]

nice band

[nordicmetal1990]

fantastic track

[IANFLEMING]

This is Ian from Ritual. Go to myspace slash ritualblackmetal for Ritual info.

[Marc2977O]

Ian my ass

[maidenslayer]

@IANFLEMING - Did you re-release this album yet?

[krisx15]

cant find this album anyware!

[666Devilry666]

You can purchase this album on there myspace page.

[LordZYRK]

Man, this is horrible. . . they sound great but the recording quality of this doesn't do it justice.

[CruelDestructor666]

great band!

[alucard1083]

GRIMM AND YET MELODIC.....like good Dissection. KILLER

[smoki666x666]

Perfect.

[AstralMelancholy]

Made Me Speechless...

[Sokturne]

fuckin riffs

[withinthedarkmind]

I really do love this album. It is avail through I-tunes if you are interested. I especially like the instrumental in the beginning and the keyboard instrumental.

It is a shame you guys couldn't work out your differences as I even told Mike I'd drum for you guys. Good luck on the new stuff, though capturing the purity of this album will be a difficult task to take on. I did hear the new track and to me it sounds, well too new. Bring back the dark melodies/keys!!

[0nlyMetaI]

Pretty Satanic Disc ;) Hua Hua !

Black Metal Up souls to higher ground !

[IronfistQuest]

Great video great Evil:)

[toothneck]

Thanks for all the nice comments. yes I can still sing like that, I am working on new Ritual songs right now. I'll put it up asap.

Ian

[maidenslayer]

Is it possible to buy this music? Like on cd? I want it!

[Muffinz525]

Epic.

[xxxxcofxxxx]

This song is great. Hail

[Metalwurst666]

lol ramones entered black metal xD

[Metalwurst666]

i didnt mean that as an insult i just wanted to say that the intro riff reminds me of some ramones slower stuff... sorry if i insulted you (if you really are the singer) i really like the song \m/

[toothneck]

This is Ian from Ritual, I welcome any questions you guys may have. Send me a message.

[Muffinz525]

Hey Ian,

Can you still sing like you did then?

[NArkWTikA]

too much soft black metal belongs to satan and we want bloodlusted songs HAIL SATANAS

[LordStormcrow]

just found this band. this is a really great tune.

[Tb0neZ5]

i wish all black metal was like this. nice music that makes sense. but most is just fucking random chords strummed really fast and blast beats.

[osmiunqn]

[SatanicBlasphemy24]

[Grotlord]

It really annoys me I can't find tabs for this. The guitars are amazing beyond amazing.

[34headsonastick]

i was thinking the same thing, ill try to tab it outt and ill send it to you when im finished

[Grotlord]

Many thanks. I'm a fairly new guitarist and aren't any good for tabbing by ear yet. Good luck with it.

[KoFF1N]

Man where I can download this song?:(

[Frosthrone]

KoFFIN,you can probably find all three full length albums on some file sharing site. I was lucky to find all three albums and their compilation at the local underground record shop where I live they were used but in good condition there's another band some Ritual members were in called Draconis you might be interested in giving a listen also

[rnusslein]

The band is now called Arcane Asylum look the up.

[xbeerwenchx]

You are mistake....Arcane Asylum might have a couple of the guys vocals/bass but different style.

Ritual will not be reforming to my knowledge

Im very happy to own all their albums:D

[xbeerwenchx]

Heh. the bassit has posted a comment here..

if you look closely you will, know who!

cheerS!I found you!

[KoFF1N]

Awesome song......:( so sad... so pure... so melancholic...so dark... so nice.
