Now it's time for a new discovery Ritual by Master's Hammer. Formed in Czech Republic in 1983 they released first album in 1991 in the direction of rather classical black metal. I am surprised black metal in Czech was (and probably still is) popular in early 90s, but not in a form of second Norwegian wave of black metal. It does have some roots from there though.

I gave few plays of this album and I am impressed by the medium quality. Guitars are at some point weird, but it with with strings instruments. Vocalist I can say sound like Bathory. Despite the fact it's in Czech language it sounds pretty amazing. For me it's a step forward to tolerate the black metal vocal style. Melody is the same as first wave of black metal, but Master's Hammer can't be included to this wave. I love he normal drumming, like proper heavy metal.

I am definitely going to get this album, another "must buy" black metal. I think whole Ritual is amazing and I rate 9.5 out of 10, cause it seriously hypnotised me. This album is dedicated for those, who love old school black metal!
