Three DeBaser reviews dive into Ramesses’ suffocating doom/sludge: from the warped debut We Will Lead You to Glorious Times to the sharpened Misanthropic Alchemy and the brisk, murkier Baptism Of The Walking Dead EP. The writing hails their extremity, Electric Wizard lineage, horror-film samples, and oppressive atmospheres. Overall verdict: intense, original, and mostly triumphant, with one EP drawing mixed feelings.
