blood ceremony

Label: RISE ABOVE"

Limited vinyl issue-second pressing. Canadian doom-psyche band born out of an obsession with 70s occult rock. BLOOD CEREMONY bears witness to the heavy bands of yesteryear, fusing psychedelic rock and folk with an early 70s downer feel. The band strives to achieve a distinctive presence through their music; the desired effect is "the creation of an utterly heavy and doomed-out vibe". Songs built upon the foundations of medieval heavy blues-rock riffs are characterized by psychedelic 60s-style organ work, as well as mystical fluting (a la the manic piping of Jethro Tull), the end result creating a profound sense of musical other-worldliness. BLOOD CEREMONY keeps it simple and heavy; its songs are tempered with strong, brooding melodies that could readily appeal to fans of Black Sabbath and Black Mountain alike."
