About Me


..
IMMORTAL RITES – Death Metal from Germany since 1996
IMMORTAL RITES follows the path of the 90ies based Death Metal inspirations mixed with a blackened and still ripping melodic touch!!! Play it loud and make up your mind!!!
Throughout the years of existence IMMORTAL RITES shared the stage on slots with bands like BEHEMOTH, UNLEASHED, IN BATTLE, YATTERING, PURGATORY, MYSTIC CIRCLE, DESASTER, DISSECTION, HYNOS, DEADBORN, GOD DETHRONED, SUMMON, APOPHIS and many others.
Furthermore the bandname was nailed on the billings of SUMMER BREEZE Festival (2000 and 2004), FUCK THE COMMERCE 2004, OPEN HELL Festival 2005, ZABBADUSCHDER Open Air 2005 and MORBIDE Festspiele (2004).
Major changes happened in 2007 with the departure of songwriting and founding member Philipp Frick in a friendly way due to the so classical called musical differences.
Marked as a sort of turning point IMMORTAL RITES started to explore again the the more brutal depths of the musical extreme abyss!!!
A couple of new tracks entitled “Shadowbreeder”, “Black – paled Elegy” or “Opus Putresence” are already in the finished writing mood. Expect old schoolish brutality as a tribute to the old (!) Death Metal scene!!!
Remember: Only DEATH is REAL!!!
