Rites
Rites emerged in 2016 wielding a raw, venomous blend of black and thrash metal that leans hard into aggression over atmosphere. Their sound channels the reckless fury of early Sodom and Bathory — stripped down, fast, and deliberately unpolished. The band's Bandcamp presence under 'thedurites' hints at a sardonic self-awareness that makes their corrosive output all the more compelling.
