I can not understand, if, as happened in a large magazine, the new Black Dahlia Murder assumed to be primarily again just quickly. "Ritual", the fifth album by now the Detroit band is in fact much more than that. The board is bursting with melodies and absolutely mandatory Groove and qualitative approaches my personal highlight of the band's internal history, namely "Miasma". If one has only once made the not quite one minute, dispensable intro banter behind (added, that's for nothing), coat of a quintet with a blast of song. Although "A Shrine to Madness" immediately goes to the bell, but very quickly becomes clear that a little was bolted to the "vintage" sound. The melody of the chorus for example is downright anthemic and catchy as since Blessed "Miasma" (I mentioned my favorite plate ?!) no longer. "Moonlight Equilibrium" is the riff in his second to none and "On Stirring Seas Of Salted Blood" is to a large extent (so all they can not do it well can) become a purebred roll. "The Window" tears a, thanks to incisive beginning immediately with "Carbonized In Cruciform" must be thanks to a cunning arrangement also does not hide. Light bombast and epic expect again in the final, "Blood In The Ink". I let myself rarely tempted to throw with song name to me, but "Ritual" lends itself easily to. To Ask ?!
