NEWS: Macumbazilla’s “The Ritual” music video going strong

21st November 2018 admin

A little bit over three years after its release, the music video for the song “The Ritual”, from the band Macumbazilla, keeps on reverberating throughout the world with great quality, dexterity and aggressiveness, all key characteristics of the band’s musicality.

The music video for “The Ritual” displays an honest purpose and a visceral approach, going straight to the point. Without any fanciness or delicacy, this video manages to synthesize in both image and sound, the entire essence of what is the band Macumbazilla is all about. Distorted riffs, pounding drums, thick bass and imposing vocals, all mixed together to build the entire harmonic base of a timeless song, and a band that is leaving fans restless in anticipation to consume the new songs that remain unrevealed to the public, and won’t be released in 2018.

It has to be said that this track is a great rumbling, rolling riff laden stoner metal piece. Its tight, the vocals are clear and full of controlled ferocity with a style that reminds you a bit of either James Hetfield or Biohazard (especially when they did the cover of Black Sababath’s “After Forever”). It is tricked out with superb grooves that will have you headbanging with ease and your mouth contorting into an angry metal frown as the Black Sabbath vibe flows through you. Definitely a great track and album to pick up, especially as its only £2.97. Hopefully more is to come from Macumbazilla soon.

With more than 32.000 view on the band’s official YouTube channel, “The Ritual”, does not allow a single label or classification. The musicians are able to transit between many different aspects of heavy music, with their own identity and authentic elements created by the band on the songs that can be found on the group’s first EP. Especially in “The Ritual”, it is impossible set a genre to Macumbazilla, but one thing remains certain! Macumbazilla is a straight beat down from beginning to end.

2018 is still full of questions for Macumbazilla. To the band’s fans and new followers, all that is left is the anticipation for any news. What is known is that the group is still together, and this can result on more assault to your eardrums.
