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.
