New EP (tape) “Exsanguination Of The Gods” out on March 10th!
A new band helmed by old souls, Ohio’s GENOCIDAL RITES have been waging war on the American Midwest the past couple years via a couple EPs and especially their mesmerizing live shows. Fittingly, HELLS HEADBANGERS makes a blood pact with the band on their home soil, with the first fruit being the new EP Exsanguination of the Gods.
No more but certainly no less, Exsanguination of the Gods is as concise of an introduction to GENOCIDAL RITES as any.

No progression and no compromise, GENOCIDAL RITES proceed to lay waste with a blown-out, blackgrinding iteration of bestial metal that suggests plenty of perversion still to come.
