Ritual of Light by Descending Pharaohs is the debut full-length album from Descending Pharaohs, a trio blending 70s electric Arabic/Anatolian, spiritual jazz, and krautrock with guitar, bass, drums, Turkish saz, Greek tzoura, oud, and electronics for a primal, ethnographic post-punk sound reminiscent of Savage Republic and Ash Ra Tempel, featuring tracks like "Sergeant Minor," "Malek," and "The Vital Plane".
Recorded in mid-2022, Ritual of Light showcases Descending Pharaohs' unique fusion of styles, creating a modern sound that transcends its influences. The album offers rich textures with traditional instruments like the saz and tzoura, alongside drone-driven electronics, capturing a primal energy with ethnographic post-punk and sinister krautrock undertones.
