The Law takes in a single seventy-minute example of the walled noise form- which is weathered, battering, and swelling in its layered attack. Sado Rituals are a Polish project- who have been active, and fairly prolific since 2019- with coming on for two hundred releases to its name.

The album is a self-released digital-only affair. For the cover artwork, we have an old monochrome print of Jesus surrounded by a group of men gesturing at books. The release can be located here.

The self-titled track runs at dead on the seventy-minute mark- it opens with a sample( from a film I'm guessing) of a man saying ‘you have to follow the law Jesus’, before he says ‘I am the law’. We then drop into the ‘wall’ which is certainly a very thick, swirling, disorienting affair. It’s constructed around a blend of wayward buffet and bay, gritty juddering, low-end churn, and grey rattle. The way the whole thing has been mixed & presented- it’s often difficult to fully focus on any one layer- so as a result it feels akin to a layered free fall- but that’s not to say it’s messy or unstructured each of its layers, it’s not- it’s just the way they running together creates this feeling.

As a long-form wall this is most entrancing- as one's brain is constantly trying to lock onto different layers. The whole thing has a nicely murky and battering attack- which definitely feels archaic & old- as if you're engulfed by a whirlwind of ageing & yellowed scriptures, dust, and grit.

The Law is certainly effective in both its all-engulf layering and general textural battering. The whole thing nicely fits the release’s artwork/ theme. All making for another successful release from Sado Rituals.
