BLOOD RITUAL Seeks New Members

January 21, 2008

Portland, Oregon-based death/metallers BLOOD RITUAL are currently working on a new album and seeking new members in Portland, Oregon. "Positions needed are two highly skilled and reliable guitarists who are responsible and serious about music," says mastermind Tim Bishop. "Only serious applications only: [email protected]."

BLOOD RITUAL's second album, "Black Grimoire", was released in 2005 via Moribund Records. Nearly a decade in the waiting/making and each instrument recorded entirely by Bishop, "Black Grimoire" is "the sound of death metal going beyond the physical, even beyond the supernatural," according to a press release. "Sepulchral vocals bellow like the maw of Hell, the sound of a thousand souls damned for eternity. Downtuned riffs alternately race and rewind, the cauldron-thick speed harnessing the powers of chaos while the time-halting doom thunder eerily squirms not unlike the great serpent Ouroboros forever eating its tail. And Bishop's guitar leads are nothing short of sublime: furies of splattering disorientation soon gracefully right themselves into melodious requiems that will haunt the subconscious for eternity, looming malevolently above the swirling maelstrom."

Hailing from the festering, once-grunge-filled bowels of Seattle, BLOOD RITUAL was originally formed in 1991 by Bishop, a member of the Church of Satan, as a band monikered IMPIETY and dedicated to authentic Satanism. After several lineups, four devastating songs, and a name change, in 1992 BLOOD RITUAL was officially born.
