Abjection Ritual - Futility Rites

Review by Carolyn Evans-Hale

Abjection Ritual's latest album, Futility Rites, is a haunting and intense exploration of the darker side of humanity. The album features a mix of harsh noise, industrial, and dark ambient elements, creating a soundscape that is both abrasive and atmospheric.

The album opens with "Grimoire of the Dark Arts," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its ominous drones and distorted vocals. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a bleak and desolate landscape, with tracks like "The Summoning of the Nameless One" and "The Rite of the Void" showcasing the band's ability to create a sense of foreboding and unease.
