Satyrus - Rites

Italians Satyrus bring an aura of darkness and occultism to a rather heavy and groovy doom rock on their debut album "Rites". The band straddle the fine line between the heavy doom of Black Sabbath and the occult rock of someone like Danzig throughout these five tracks, merging some mammoth-sized riffing with a nice melodic grit. It's on tracks like "Stigma" that Satyrus reveal this mastery by offering some catchy and groovy riffs that has the warm familiarity of Toni Iommi.



The band shows an equal cohesion and maturity on the rest of the tracks on the album, each of which neither feels repetitive or out of place, so if you're looking for a near perfect reinterpretation of retro and occult doom rock in this depressive and gloomy age look no further than Satyrus' Rites.
