Zao - Ravage Ritual download song

The album art is my face after hearing this song for the first time.

His vocals sound so modern.. wow

This band introduced me to hardcore, owe it all to them! Long live zao

Im 35, damn it’s been almost two decades since I’ve first heard this

best zao song ever i fuckin go crazy ever time ive seen them play it.

I remember the first war, the way the sky burned The faces of angels destroyed I saw a third of Heaven's legion banished And the creation of hell I stood with my brothers and watched lucifer fall But now, my brothers aren't my brothers Turned away by a misrepresentation Stained glass and white washed tombs The hearts of those who spoke to you Were never homes the God they tried to show you They spoke out of prejudice and ritualism They themselves were lost angels fold their wings And they fold their wings And weep along with us watching you shun Christ's sacrifice Shunning sacrifice And they fold their wings And weep along with us watching you shun Shun

it has been so many years since i heard this song. so glad to find it again damnnn

goddamn this song is so awesome. I dont care if they are a Christian band because it sounds badass

I'm 32 now and i still remember the time this album came out, even tho I'm not religious, i fell in love with the brutal heavy breakdowns and the one of a kind creepy screaming still to this day blows me away.. thank you so much for the amazing memories, Zao is most likely the band that paved the road to hardcore and metalcore for me

One of the Best songs on planet Earth!

Jesus is Lord ! I miss the older members of this Band

Of all the CD's I ever bought, this is my favorite. Saw many a good show in the late 90's. Thanks Dave H. For introducing me to Zao and the scene. Best show was the one on GCC campus.

Thats the real "metal" hardcore with bands like day of suffering, strongarm , ascension, morning again,torn apart...

been a fan since the "The birth of separation" and still listening to them every morning. always getting me pumped up

Oh shit, I remember being just 3 months old when I heard this song. Now I'm 67 and still listening..

I love the intro from "The Prophecy" -- underrated movie.

Yes I will never forget how amazing this band is

I was listening and playing drums to the previous album at 16, when the band I was in played a show with zao in Cleveland. Small church, maybe 40 people there, this album just came out. Jesse Smith broke 5 drumsticks in the first song.( I rewatched the VHS continuously) drum set was sideways, no bassist. Bret Detar (juliana theory) and russ played gutar. LIFE CHANGING. I went on to play shows alongside zao and luti-kriss ( normajean) throughout the years. That night in Cleveland, I saw unrestrained passion. Spitting,screaming,broken sticks and cymbals missing chunks of metal. I learned there is nothing more impactful than passion without fear. Thank God for zao!
