RITUAL MASS - It Ever Turns CD!!!

We´re stoked to announce that we´ll put out a compilation, titled "It Ever Turns", that will collect all the material spawned by the U.S. band RITUAL MASS so far, all of which was previously never available on CD format: "Ritual Mass" demo (2017), "Abhorred in the Eyes of God" EP (2019) and "Descent/Sepulcher" single (2021). There is no better description of their aural assault than the words used by our friends at Grizzly Butts when they reviewed the band´s 2019 EP: "If you´ve ever picked up the early Master tapes where they´ve mixed in the non-triggered drum takes and imagined what those thrashing, punkish Axegrinder-esque chunks might sound like reborn by way of a more perfectionism-bound group (i.e. Tomb Mold) then ratcheted up to ridiculous body-in-the-trunk heaviness (i.e. Coffins) you´ll understand why Ritual Mass are an instant thumbs up from my perspective. They´re not a deathcrust band, but they could hang with ´em, they´re not a "caveman" thug merch-meme death metal band (but they could hang with ´em), and it seems the angle these guys are aiming for is a solid enough mix of simple groovin´ and easygoing pure death metal." "It Ever Turns" is due out on October 24th, 2022. Memento Mori will unleash the CD version and Caligari Records will take care of the tape version. Further details to follow in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, check them out on Bandcamp (link below).
