About
The Ritual is the fifth album by American heavy metal band Testament, released in 1992. It was the last studio album to include drummer Louie Clemente, and also guitarist Alex Skolnick's last album until he rejoined the band in 2005. On The Ritual, Testament began exploring slower, heavier territory for their music while still maintaining their thrash metal roots. The album was semi-successful, making it to #55 on the Billboard 200, which would be Testament's highest position of their career, until 2012's Dark Roots of Earth, which reached number twelve on the same chart. It also spawned the band's only charting single "Return to Serenity", which reached number 22 on Mainstream Rock Tracks.
