As on 'Under the Burning Eclipse' (2021), between each song on 'Sacred Rites & Black Magick' is an intricately positioned interlude building the ambiance and steering the thematic intensity of the album. Beginning with echoing, clean dual acoustic guitars, introductory interlude 'Hymns of the Slumbering Race' begins the procession of grand ascension and hair raising riffage to come. 'Internal Fulmination of the Grand Deceivers' flashes Stormruler's brand of imperial black metal warfare, shining with heavy bass and blastbeats before cascading into icy atmosphere topped by smoke-cloaked vocals.
