After the debut ‘Manic Howls’ the four Necromantics from Vaasa, Finland, came together again to write the follow up ‘November Ritual’.
A follow up that will please those who want their Black Metal raw, old school and with a slight gritty rehearsal yet audible sound, including guitar feedback of course. Only the vocals are a bit buried away, for example on ‘The Witch’s Tears‘. With 3 songs underneath the 2 minute limit, the listener will receive some fast and uptempo assaults while ‘Flying Away’ clocks 4 and a half minutes, has a more mid-tempo pace.
At the end ‘November Ritual’ is a fine listen but not must-have material.
