MORBID SLAUGHTER
A FILTHY ORGY OF HORROR AND DEATH

With Blood of the Black Owl’s 3rd full-length opus, A Banishing Ritual, the experimental and the inner journey once again unite for 41 minutes of a pure outpouring of emotions and cleansing of past stains on ones life. With the union of crippling doom and more ambient segments of travel meant to reach the gods, B.o.t.B.O. will once again amaze and enchant their ever growing fanbase with conviction and a pure heart to cleanse ones inner demons with focused and inspired ritualistic sounds. This album is an extremely personal journey for creators Chet Scott, Daniel Herod and James Woodhead and at one time was even considered as too close to the heart to release for public consumption. Featuring one long track, this massive creation has been guaranteed to be "nothing like anything anyone has ever heard before". Once again mastered by the ever impressive Mel Detmer (Earth, Wolves in the Throne Room), "A Banishing Ritual" is a full and all encompassing release that will change the way you experience listening to music. “the organic ritual atmospheres are juxtaposed against crushing avalanches of metallic dissonance creating an ever-shifting panorama that mimics nature’s duality of creative beauty (light) and unchecked destruction (dark).” Oakenthrone “This is musick full of creepy guttural croakings, seasick shoegazing droned-out riffery, and some seriously doooooomic plod, along with sudden yet graceful dynamic shifts from apocalyptic destructiveness to introspective dreaminess, yeah!!!” Aquarius Records
