Hybryds "The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive" 2015 version remastered and expanded CD
Zoharum 02.02.2015
If you're looking for one of the greatest ritual sounds ever recorded look no further. Here you have a second chance to get it after nearly 25 years.
"The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive, Part 1" was performed and recorded
live on Dat, April 28, 1991 at Etiquette Studio by Nico De Haan,
Zandvliet, Belgium. "The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive, Part 2 & 3"
and "Wailing for the Fallen Angels" were recorded on 4-track cassette
porta studio, 1991.
Zoharum continues reissuing past works of one of the most interesting
projects coming from the 1980s underground - Hybryds. This album is the
fourth instalment in the reissue series of Hybryds classic releases. It
is an expanded reissue of ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive (1)” EP
released back in 1991. That release featured only the first part of the
title composition. The Zoharum edition was extended to a 70-minute full
album with the other two parts of ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive”
included plus one more bonus song.
Contrary to the previous releases (”Mythical Music from the 21st Century” and ”Music for Rituals” - both reissued on Zoharum – with lots of short pieces), ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive” contains slowly-evolving, long pieces which will hypnotise the listener with their sonic magic. Four songs on this album come from the same period, so it sounds very cohesive. And because three of them were not published before, ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive” v.2014 might be treated as a new album.
The album has been digitally remastered from the original stereo cassette master by none else but Sandy Nys, who also provided the cover based on the previous editions. This is the ritual music at its best. Now you can enjoy it in the best digital quality. The CD is housed in a digipak sleeve and the album is strictly limited to 500 copies (Zoharum info).
