The vinyl hype provides us with many re-releases. Shaidar Logoth’s Chapter II The Ritualist LP is one of the many vinyl reissues still coming our way. The duo is a US Black Metal band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. They released this LP on tape and digital format in 2015. The underground Black Metal that they play is soaked with atmospheric and doomy influences, which deserves a chance to be heard! The LP has four songs that are very varied in style and atmosphere. The average playing time of the songs is about nine minutes and they do not bore a second! They switch style and speed just in time to make you stay in that addictive horrifying Black Metal mood.
The sharp Black Metal screams are in balance with the well produced music. The LP starts with ‘Drink Thine Wretched Wine’, a very doomy intro with ritual influences switches suddenly to raw pure raging madness! ‘The Scourge’ continues to torture our mind in a furious way and ends with a Dark Ritual Ambient outro!
The third song on the LP, ‘The Blight’ starts with a slow Post-Rock intro, sluggish emerging into a wall of Black Metal guitars still keeping the Post-Rock influences but speeding up beyond limits and insane screams!!! This is definitely my favorite song of the album!
‘A Realm Of Befitting His Majesty’ is a song which can be compared with the best Norwegian Black Metal! It’s no use comparing Shaidar Logoth with other bands, the list would be to long because of the high eclectic approach in their music,
Black Metal fans, Shaidar Logoth is a band to keep an eye on!!
