Ritual. is the debut album by Czech black metal band Master's Hammer, initially released through independent label Monitor in 1991. It was later distributed elsewhere and re-released in CD format by Osmose Productions in 1994; Osmose's version contains two bonus tracks. Many tracks of the album were re-recorded from their 1990 demo tapeThe Fall of Idol.
The band once claimed that Ritual. sold over 25,000 copies in the Czech Republic alone.[3] It is considered to be one of the major albums responsible for defining the early Czech black metal scene of the late 1980s/early to mid-1990s, alongside Root's Zjevení (1990) and Maniac Butcher's Barbarians (1995).
Rock Hard magazine featured Ritual. on their list "250 Black Metal Albums You Should Know".[4]
Fenriz of the band Darkthrone called it "the first Norwegian black metal album, even though they are from Czechoslovakia".[5]
