RITI OCCULTI
“S/T”
(Epedemie Records)
I haven’t come upon many bands that don’t use a guitar in their sound. The latest being GALLHAMMER on their latest album but apart from that I can only think of two acts in my record collection that has chosen to not include a guitar. This sounds like the soundtrack to Armageddon. The final battle between good and evil where nobody wins and the world goes under. This gives dark a whole new meaning. This is the kind of “weird” album that I like and that I can take to my heart in so many different ways. This is the kind of record that placed in my collection will get a strategic placing. Musically this is like a bad trip through the worst (meant in the most positive way possible) psychodelia. This is psychedelic taken to a whole new level. It may even transcend what we commonly know as music. Yet at the same time this is some of the coolest music that I’ve heard in very long time. Anders Ekdahl
