about

'Nocturnal Haematolagnia' is the Ritual Suicide's long-awaited third (and final) album released on cassette tape format.

Even amongst that impressive canon does 'Nocturnal Haematolagnia' loom large: this is the crystallization of Ritual Suicide's characteristic magick & mysticism, and also its zenith - understandably so, given it's the band's epitaph. Taking advantage of the album's hour-long length, the mysterious duo spelunk amongst myriad corridors of the soul and spirit, spreading ruin and rumination in equal measure - violence directed both inward and outward, reflection & repose a necessary step for transcendence or eventual oblivion - and unfurl foul textures of ancient, cobwebbed majesty. To walk among Nocturnal Haematolagnia's desolate halls is to experience the medieval malodorousness of the old French Black Legions and '90s Eastern European black metal in equal measure...but what stares back at you at the end of those halls is an image distorted by still-keening vampyric bloodlust, very much in the now and very much more riff-centric than so much "raw black metal" parading aimlessness as "atmosphere." Ritual Suicide are extremely adept guides along this path, but they only proclaim human suffering and torturous infliction upon the masses; how one imbibes these 58 minutes matters not to them. Verily, this is raw vampyric black metal for those that dwell in the night exclusively.

And now, their time on this earthly realm completed, Ritual Suicide return to a rotten coffin, leaving behind 'Nocturnal Haematolagnia' as their final recorded remains...
