The Cavernous Ritual Templeis a fabulous piece of bestial death/black from a Netherlands`band named BLOODTOMB; this is their debut album and the music oscillates, generally speaking,around BLASPHEMY`sand/or early ARCHGOAT`s doings. Rabid, short outbursts of riffage make this stuff sound truly vile and menacing…the vocals are harsh, evil to the bone, awesome. Simple, very hearty drumming is like nails entering the flesh of Jesus Christ during his final hours.

This stuff is extremely venomous and very nice to listen to. I did manage to get their demos as well, and I will tell you these are equally good in my opinion.

Another good release by Fallen Templefrom Poland and another proof that primordial, evil death/black metal is doing fine these days.
