Ritualist
Derby, Kansas is an unlikely home for black/death metal, but Ritualist have been operating there since 2013, carving out space for extreme music in a region more associated with plains than pit circles. Their decade-plus tenure in the Wichita metro underground demonstrates commitment to a genre that typically doesn't reward geographic convenience. The black/death fusion they work with puts them in the tradition of acts like Angelcorpse and Aura Noir — punishing and unrelenting.
