One of the most legendary bands from the 90’s Swedish progressive scene is finally back with a new album, 17 years since the last full-length. Ritual has often been a band with a concept, and their music has often been inspired by Tove Jansson’s novels about the Moomins.

On their return, we’re invited into the strange story of the mysterious Mr. Bogd. And this fifth studio album is only part 1 of the story! Since its formation in 1993, Ritual quickly established a distinct progressive style of their own, influenced by progressive and hard rock of the 70’s, as well as contemporary

The second of the 2-albums releases of Entering Polaris. It contains “Myths In Motion”, electric, energetic, heavy and progressive metal based on 7-string guitar and “Songs Of Ivory And Obsidian” which is acoustic, haunting and melancholic, with piano, (real) string sections, choirs and classical percussion.
