Ritual Dictates, who boast a core duo comprised of ex-3 Inches Of Blood guitarist/vocalist Justin Hagberg and Revocation drummer Ash Pearson, have revealed an October 07th release date for their sophomore album “No Great Loss” via Artoffact Records.
A video for the opening track “Burn The Widow” has emerged online with a lyric video posted below. Hagberg stated of the album and what inspired it:
“These unsettling and depressing times contributed to the change in Ritual Dictates’ sound. That, and working full time graveyard shifts in a crematorium during a global pandemic. And through it all I listened to an abundance of music, drunk what seemed to be bottomless wine, and wrote ‘No Great Loss‘.”
He continued:
“‘No Great Loss‘ opens with ‘Burn The Widow‘. It feels appropriate to premiere this song first, mainly because it captures much of the vast musical influences heard throughout the album. It’s also the shortest song on this record, which makes it less tedious for someone who can’t bear more than 3:52 of our music.”
“No Great Loss” track listing:
01 – “Burn The Widow”
02 – “My Solitude”
03 – “Goth And Exhausted”
04 – “Aqua Tofana”
05 – “Autumn Song”
06 – “Succumbing To The Ravages Of Age”
Pre-orders for the record will be up tomorrow, July 08th via Bandcamp.
