Misanthropic Rituals is the black metal-inspired brainchild of multi-instrumentalist and founding member, Bones. The project first saw daybreak in 2012 and has since been enduring a slow dawn with several different vocalists including Josh Perrin (Basilysk) and Joe Kreiss (WolfCloak) who both appear on the debut full length, "Human Dirt" (2017).
"A Path Through Absent Places" is the first release to feature only one vocalist throughout, Ymir (Degrader), and is the start of a regular lineup. Influences include Rotting Christ, Bathory, Burzum, Sargeist, Behemoth, Slayer, Katatonia, Cobalt.
