Belgian dark ambient/drone act Ashtoreth, created by artist/guitarist Peter Verwimp in 2010, just released a new album, Rites III & IV, via Cyclic Law. In the awaited follow up to the 2019 album Rites I & II, we're presented with two subsequent aural rituals from Peter Verwimp intricate guitar-driven soundscapes. The Rites series touches on the importance of ceremony and ritual in our daily lives. It deals with our interconnectedness with nature as a whole and the necessity to acknowledge and use this connection as an amplifier of thoughts, ideas and emotions. Minimal, meditative ambient drones with layers of meandering guitars and voices mixing elements of doom, drone and ambient experimentation. Rites III & IV expand on the shamanic and animistic path, an ongoing journey through flesh, sound and spirit. The entire thing is available for streaming below. Link
