SPI RITUAL

The debut studio album by German Folk/Gothic Metal band.
Formed around July - August 2005 by Stefan Hertrich (Shiva in Exile, ex- Darkseed, ex- Sculpture, ex-Death Of Eden), the project was a sort of unofficial follow up to 1999's Betray My Secrets band, which featured Stefan Hertrich, Christian Bystron and Harald Winkler. Spi Ritual features almost nothing but guest musicians playing different instruments, with the only core member being Stefan Hertrich. Maurizio Guolo (Darkseed, Pergamon, Absorbed in Thought) played drums on the album.
Mixing Ethnic and Middle Eastern elements with loud, blasting Metal, vicious vocals, awe-inspiring guitar work, an abundance of ambiance and a roster of guest musicians that could practically take up an entire page of the booklet, Spi Ritual's "Pulse" leaves few areas untouched.
Enhanced CD includes a multimedia section with a video clip "Pulse" + multimedia track with footage, additional music, and texts by Stefan Hertrich and D. Ph. Christian Rätsch. A pressing error caused the digipak to open improperly.
Each CD autographed by Stefan Hertrich and comes with a Spi-Ritual sticker.
