VATICINAL RITES (London, England UK) - (Self-Titled) (2021) (MAXI CDEP) (2021) Released by Redefining Darkness & Caligari Records in a slim jewel case - limited to 500 copies. 
 Formed in 2020, London UK based VATICINAL RITES play a visceral form of Death Metal, inspired by the pioneering Floridian scene of the early to mid 90's, with a special homage also paid to the European/Greek underground Metal sound.
Vaticinal Rites impresses, because even though it's only 4 tracks, we immediately get a sense of exactly who this band are. They wear their influences on their collective sleeve, worshiping the HM2 pedal and bands like Morbid Angel and Discarnate.  
This is just the first taste of what promises to be a Death Metal band for the ages. There is a crushing hate that defines these guys that you're not going to soon forget. 
Vaticinal Rites is a terrifying record and one that feels like just the taste of torment to come. Immersing yourself in this uniquely British brand of hate and experiencing the crushing oppression of their latest offering is guaranteed to leave you moshing, excited for more and gurgling on the flesh of the innocent.
