A Quiet Ritual is written for an ensemble of classical and modern instruments including the carnyx, an Iron Age Celtic boar-headed horn excavated from a bog in Deskford, Scotland. This mix of instruments is indicative of the theme of timelessness common to this album and their previous work. Throughout the album Cartwright™s vocals provide an illuminating warmth and lucidity that fights against desolation - a desire to live and to love. A Quiet Ritual is Snow Ghost™s most indomitable, beautiful and compelling album to date.
