BEHEXEN Rituale Satanum CD

BEHEXEN – Rituale Satanum CD (Digipak)

Enter the temple of pure Finnish blasphemy. Originally unleashed in the twilight of 2000, BEHEXEN’s legendary debut full-length, Rituale Satanum, stands as an undisputed, sacred monument of raw Satanic black metal. Almost universally acclaimed as the band’s crowning masterpiece, this album is a mandatory addition to any serious record collection truly dedicated to the original Black Art. Reissued in a premium digipak format by Debemur Morti Productions, this dark relic is resurrected in all its unholy glory.

Rituale Satanum is a quintessential explosion of unadulterated, pitch-black hatred. While many bands of the era sought to soften their sound, Behexen doubled down on raw, uncompromising violence. The album is fueled by a relentless barrage of cold, funerary riffs, blazing blast beats, and a thick, oppressive atmosphere of genuine spiritual devotion to the dark. Yet, beneath the chaotic violence lies the distinct Finnish trademark: infectious, melancholic, and timeless melodies that elevate tracks like “Sota valon jumalaa vastaan” (War Against the God of Light) and “Night of the Blasphemy” into eternal underground anthems.

Driving this ritual into absolute madness are the legendary vocals of Hoath Torog. His possessed, throat-tearing shrieks and manic growls sound less like a studio performance and more like a direct, frenzied invocation from the depths of the pit. From the chilling ritual of the “Intro / The Summoning” to the unrelenting, blasphemous storm of the closing title track, Rituale Satanum never falters. It is a raw, cold, and fanatical piece of black metal history that remains entirely untouched by time.

Pure, raw, and fiercely devotional. Reclaim the ultimate monument of Finnish orthodox black metal.
