Nemrud has gone beyond the Turkish standard rock or popular line-chorus structure songs and pushed the technical and composition limits of rock music. Besides, there are classic, jazz and avantgarde components in their compositions. Ritual shows the general characterictics of Progressive Rock such as changing melodies and rhythms, refrains from repetition, conceptual and abstract lyrics. The admiration of the band for the golden era of Progressive Rock; 70s reflects itself in the epical story used in the album.

Nemrud are Mert Göçay (vocal, guitar), Levent Candaş (bass guitar) and Mert Alkaya (drum). Based in Istanbul/Turkey, Nemrud are the first Turkish act pioneering a groundbreaking singular form of Progressive Rock with the debut album Journey of the Shaman. Nemrud created an unique sound that has been spreading over the independent scene since 2008. Two more critically acclaimed followed, gaining them the title of Pioneers of Turkish Progressive Rock. The lyrics delicately explore The Tree of Life and deep dive in the Origin of Sex and Origin of Mitosis. Nemrud's careful composed lyrics give the audience a dooming multivariate mythological inference for the extinction of human kind. All 3 albums are intertwined and include sophisticated references to evolutionary theories and ancient mythology.
