Ritual - Paper Skin

 listen to White Caskets by Ritual

To say this record was highly anticipated would be a huge understatement. To say it exceeds all expectations all the more so. Paper Skin shows Ritual (myspace) is a band with plenty of room for experimentation. Their hardcore punk rock’n roll style serves as only the subtle substructure to the overall sound to this record. With a much darker approach to the hardcore label, by incorporating  indistinct atmospheric elements in mid-tempo parts and here and there. Stirring melodies, by either minor chord strumming or haunting and slow plucking patterns with frail yet raw vocals. All incorporated with their signature rythmic fundamentals.
