A review by

With names like these, can you expect anything else than filthy, old school Death metal? Of course not. And that's what this is. Ritual Executions is Death metal enriched with groove, a slightly drugged-out atmosphere, lavish and trippy solos and a heavy load of Doom for good measure. You can trace the influences of a lot of different bands in their sound but in my opinion, when the music is this delicious, that's far from necessary.
My only point of criticism for this smudgy brew is that I'd like it a bit closer to the point of boiling. A little more exuberant, so to speak. It may be a strange request, but as a lover of sick and vile music I'm always looking for the next most diabolic thing and well, to be honest I'm convinced that The Dead have not yet fully explored their mental disorders. It's a good second album guys, but next time you better blow me away!
For the fans of doomy and dirty Death metal as well as groovier, sludgier acts.

I don't know why this album is rated so low by metalstormers, I would give it an 8 as you did or maybe even some more points (8.3/8.4), this stuff is really entertaining, but maybe it is only "for the fans of doomy and dirty Death metal as well as groovier, sludgier acts". Well, thanks for your review, this is another album I have discovered thanks to this site
