Endless, by Modern Rites

Endless

by Modern Rites

supported by

bmurator US & Swiss Melodic Black Metal. I hesitate to say anything as I do not wish to appear above Ippocalyptica's excellent comments... :) So I refer you to his words & will just add that this is as awesome as can be & you need it in your life! Do the right thing & hit that buy button now! Highly recommended!!!

Ippocalyptica You can detect strands of Aara’s DNA in every song here, some of which are much more evident than others (like in the album’s standout, Veil of Opulence), but Modern Rites is very much charting its own course here. Light industrial tinges over a melodic yet muscular black metal framework result in a sound that is both unique and gripping in 2024. And, as I noted to YomaBarr earlier this year, I have been looking for metal lately that jolts me. Endless fits the bill! Favorite track: Veil of Opulence.

Christoph Wagner Amazing meloblack, with light industrial additions every now and then. Love the emotions in the vocals. Favorite track: Endless.

sashavonkarl74 What @Wagner said, it is an interesting blend of post-BM / industrial / experimental but altogether a great collab between these talented musicians! Favorite track: Veil of Opulence.

about

MODERN RITES are the Industrial Metal duo of guitarist Berg (AARA) and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist/lyricist Jonny Warren (KUYASHII).

Building upon acclaimed 2021 debut "Monuments", new album "Endless" unifies, elevates and perfects the band's vision, ebbing and flowing between oppressive isolation and furious optimism in an anthemically intense exploration of the human condition.

MODERN RITES drive powerful slabs of dark '90s Industrial music through a low-slung framework of churning and guttural melodic Black Metal. "Endless" takes the band's monolithic sound to the next level, with crushing advancements in riff-quality, vocal weight, rhythmic intricacy, textural range, dynamics and songcraft. Added heft is provided via a beautifully balanced, crystalline but atmospheric mix/master from Simón Da Silva at The Empty Hall Studio.

Lyrically "Endless" examines cognitive dissonance and how to preserve a sense of self against hostile ignorance. The cover art is inspired by modern takes on traditional funerary imagery: the shrouded figure representing contemplation, self-reflection and an endless search for answers.
