RITES OF THY DEGRINGOLADE — ARCH SPATIAL LP

$18.00

"The title and opening track Arch Spatial was originally conceived and recorded during the bands 3rd recording session and first as a dual member project of Paulus and Wroth for the TOTALITY album in 2001.
At first meant for a compilation album during that time that never came to fruition. It seems it was meant to be left dormant until now, and for the best.
The following 3 tracks were recorded 2 year later for a 7''ep originally released by the now defunct Australian label decius productions in 2003. It marked a slight change for Rites...while remaining steadfast to outright whirlwind execution. The short simple title track of this ep has remained a constant staple in live ritual settings ever since it first graced the black platter of wax upon which it was pressed into eternity.
The following 4 tracks are a different entity altogether in the Rites..catalog. Moving backwards even further in time these were originally released as a demo by Paulus in 1999 on cassette in somewhat limited quantities. Having left all prior projects, all instruments and vocals were handled as a one man band ritual. These early tracks encompass the signature attack of what would become the later output, while injecting elements of experimentation, doom and even touches of crushing ambient sound.
As with all parts, As with all things...may this compilation serve as a vessel into the past, and make way for over a decade of silence to be cut wide open by the Blade of self will, in the form of a brand new full length album released in conspiracy with the unstoppable force Nuclear War now! Productions in 2017.
In the name of Rites...
