Fixed Ritual by Flood Peak
"As soon as I hit play, I was immersed in a sonic maelstrom that felt like something I could drown my sorrows in. Their blend of post-rock sludge feels like being swept away in a murky river of rusty razor blades, dissonant currents tossing me against jagged rocks, punctuated by moments of fleeting, floating bliss." - Cvlt Nation
"...when you’re on the same level as it, empowers you, allowing you to feel things unique and ultraspecific. Much like gifting yourself to a lake, if you allow yourself to be submerged in Flood Peak‘s immersive sludge metal, it will reward you. It’s probably not for everyone – hell, I wasn’t super into this kind of stuff a few years ago – but it’s worth a try for those that want well-executed, abyssal music that rains down on you. Like the peeled-open palms of soil on the cover art, let the emotional torrents from Fixed Ritual catalyze growth within you and enjoy the moment." - Everything Is Noise
“Flood Peak's strength lies in their emotionally-connected heaviness that doesn't latch on to any particular sound or pacing to deliver impact. These songs hurt (in the best way possible) because Flood Peak knows why they should, and they pass that knowledge onwards.” - Invisible Oranges
