Too bad these guys came out too early (1998) and then apparently switched to an inferior vocalist after their first two albums, cause they could just be the best thing to happen to the thrash revival. Not much more than really good death thrash, even the singer could have fronted any similar band from the late-80s/early-90s. But unlike so many other retro bands, who either settle for cartoony flaccidness, or just flaccidness, with boring production, Ritual Carnage hit like a ****ing freight train and see no reason to use obsolete production just for ****s and giggles. Brutal, lightspeed riffs ahoy!
