Ohio’s freaks-of-nature better known as Rikets have unleashed a plague with their new album All American Death Cult. These Buckeyes are set to turn loose eleven of the most insanely demonstrative hatefiles ever recorded across this great land of ours.

All American Death Cult opens with the unbelievably warped, yet fitting “It’s Only Gonna Get Worse.” With clips of “Charlie” Manson and the like, this minute long intro gives the listener a little taste of the massively destructive headtrip they are about to embark on. The album’s first video and single is for the super chug-fest known as “Program The Dead.” If you are a fan of bottom-heavy grooves, fat guitar chunk, and mind-numbing electronics all lined with sick and twisted vocals, then this is the band for you. Combine the muscle of bands like Skinlab, Bloodsimple and American Head Charge with the demented elements of Nine Inch Nails and wha-la…Rikets is born. Vocalist Scott Rose comes off as one big massive ball of energetic hate, sadness and aggression. He infuses the talent of guys like Steev Esquivel (Skinlab), Tim Williams (Vision Of Disorder/Bloodsimple) and Dez Fafara (Devildriver) with his own distinct style for one lethal combination.
