100% free download, available here on last.fm or direct (with liner notes and album art) from our page, www.darkestritual.com in MP3 or AAC format. :) The first official release from the full line up of Darkest Ritual. Includes five tracks from the original self titled release plus 6 more tracks written after Jerry Norton joined the band from My Bitter Twilight. Released in May 2010, the 11 track album spans a variety of sonic flavors, but is unified in message and feel. Much darker than the first album, lyrics cover a variety of topics, mainly focusing on the bleak prospect of never living up to be anything beyond a product of the system, buying in and doing what the machine tells you to without thinking about why. We hope you enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed making it! User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
