"Even with the weaker tracks taken into consideration, Tygers of Pan Tang have released another strong album, showing that 2016's self-titled was no fluke - and that I wasn't an overrating fool back then2. When on their game, the band continues to write some of the best 80s-styled metal out there (click play on the video below for more proof), and that makes Ritual a worthwhile purchase for anyone who's a fan of the olde days, or of bands that play like they wish it still was".
