Ritual Earth’s progressive sound lends itself to complex lyrical themes and heavy use of emotions and symbolism. Says the band: “We explored introspection and dove much deeper into personal and darker issues with our unconscious minds to practice spotting our inner shadows. The death of a rival, relapsing and overcoming addiction, navigating the complexities, experiences, and challenges in our lives and the changing world around us are all topics you will find intertwined throughout these three songs.”
»Turned To Stone Chapter 9« will be available on January 12th, 2024 in various vinyl formats as well as digitally, with preorders available now on Ripple Music: ripplemusic.bandcamp.com

Inspired as much by the lysergic atmospheres of OM and King Buffalo as by the likes of Ufomammut and Sleep, Italy’s Kazak was formed in 2018 by Matteo Gherardi (drums, pads) and Daniele Picchi (guitar, voice, synth). They have been playing together since 2007 first in a tribute band, then in their original project Fish Taco. In 2018 they started writing and recording songs as a duo under the Kazak monicker. Perfectly blending stoner rock and psychedelic atmospheres into a wall of doom, Kazak’s reverberated voices lead you into introspective journeys where primitive and gargantuan drums show the path to follow.
