Formed in 2017 on the remnants of a more traditional death metal cadaver called Cemetery Whore (with two demo tapes and a four-way split already in the CV but – surprisingly enough – no line-up changes along the way), the four decided to adopt the current moniker to better reflect the musical direction they had taken, and the very same year they debuted with a very promising 'Hexing Graves' EP put out by Godz Ov War Productions.

With 'Doom Spirit Emanation', the band has made much more than a huge leap forward, creating a six-piece, forty-minute-long heavyweight monster of an album and delivering an unparalleled piece of suffocating and overwhelming, obscure, dissonant and disharmonic, bone-crushing and mind-twisting, tumultuous metal of Daath. From almost trance-like passages, through groovy, marching, ritualistic fragments, to blasting and ear-blowing onslaught, all immersed in thick and dense, tangibly grim and claustrophobic atmosphere, the album emanates sheer evil you can actually sense...

The four say: "The core of 'Doom Spirit Emanation', just like of our previous release, is obscure death metal. Still, the compositions are much more diversified and well thought over as compared to 'Hexing Graves'. The creative process itself was quite a challenge to us, too, as we'd changed our attitude to writing music. First off, we wanted to focus on the sound – powerful, surrounding and overwhelming, and treat the album as an entity, not a collection of unrelated individual tracks."

Yes, Rites Of Daath – synonymous with an unstoppable sonic monstrosity – definitely plays in a league of their own now, delivering an audial monstrosity from the deepest caverns of highly unique death doom metal definitely hard to surpass, not only in the domestic scene! Put to life at Roslyn Studio, with mixing and mastering duties handled by VK (Temple Nightside, Vassafor, Sinistrous Diabolus) , the cover art and the layout provided by the mighty WS Artworks, this masterpiece will be released on July 6, 2020 on CD, LP, MC and in digital format (with excellent t-shirts to follow).
