R. Schumann - Lieder [COMPACT DISCS] date 12/26/2006

2016 . Bay Area metal monstrosity Ritual Chamber is commanded solely by multi-instrumentalist and underground death metal veteran Dario Derna (a.k.a. Numinas), who is also the mastermind behind Khrom, was part of underground cult band Infester, and spent time in acts such as Drawn & Quartered, Funebrarum and, of course, the mighty Evoken. Like an extension of his work in Infester combined with the doomy atmosphere of Evoken, Ritual Chamber is a culmination of Dernas 25 years active in the underground and represents a return to his death metal roots. The entity made its presence known in 2013 with the Pits of Tentacled Screams demo, which made a huge impression in the underground death metal scene. Ritual Chambers debut album was tracked and mixed at San Franciscos Light Rail Studios (Vhol, Hammers of Misfortune). A massive, brutal and dark monolith of death metal terror, Obscurations (To Feast on the Seraphim) will lay its foundation upon the American death metal scene as one of its new promising pillars.
