The Ritual is an album released by Testament in 1992. It is the last to feature guitarist Alex Skolnick and drummer Louie Clemente. The style presented on this album is similar to Metallica's "black album", due to the band playing at slower song tempos and the guitar tone played in a more traditional metal style.
