Wieloryb – Ritual (Digital/CD Album – Zoharum)

Wieloryb, a Polish solo project by Pawe Kmiecik (also involved with G.A.S.), originally emerged as a 1990s duo before becoming a single-artist endeavor. The project released Ritual digitally in 2021 on Antyscena, with Zoharum issuing a CD reissue featuring three bonus tracks. The artist’s sound has evolved from rhythmic-noise foundations into industrial-trance territory, characterized by heavy kicks, repetitive loops, and spoken vocals that appeal to listeners valuing intensity and darkness. While maintaining underground credibility, Wieloryb bridges industrial and techno aesthetics, bringing contemporary energy to the broader industrial landscape. The bonus tracks offer limited additional value overall, though the final track showcases archived ambient material and concludes with forceful, primal compositions. The release earned an 8.5/10 rating.
