♫♪  Ceremonial Abyss - “Ritual I”

Seattle’s MOTOR crew has been dabbling in psych-leaning techno for over two years, but they’ve finally unleashed the dark, raw acid soaked ravers these times so desperately need. The EP, courtesy of Denver’s Ceremonial Abyss and dubbed Nuit, is out December 4 in cassette and digital formats, and it contains twenty-plus minutes of unrelenting badassness over two sides, especially the high octane kick-off of “Ritual I,” which we’re stoked to premiere below. If you’re wondering what I mean by “acid,” think the Zion rave scene in The Matrix Reloaded or the vampire dance party in Blade, and you’ll have an idea the kind of party that Ceremonial Abyss has in mind. I could for sure keep blabbing and inserting .gifs all over the place, but take a break from whatever you’re doing, hit play on “Ritual I,” and turn it up real loud.
