RITUAL DEATH fuse the best of Death and Black Metal under a satanic guise. The Norwegians could win some new listeners in 2022 with their self-titled album and also underpin their status as an excellent live band.

HELLRIPPER is the name of the sinister solo brew of the Brit James McBain. The ingredients consist of a good portion of Speed Metal, some riff loads of Black Metal and a lot of snottiness. With the new album Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags in the luggage, the guys will heat you up until you burn up.
