Ready for the next adventure…

Posted on

It is with a heavy heart that I announce this…

As of Thursday, November 1st, 2018 I will be resigning as Vocalist/Lyricist for Kill Ritual.

As with all things in life… we must grow, and move into our next role. What that role will be has yet to be determined but I know that the Universe/God/Great Spirit will give me what I need for my next journey, just as it did when I joined Kill Ritual 3 years ago.

While in Kill Ritual I got to do some amazing tours in Europe, Canada, and the US. We put out two great records that I am proud of, Karma Machine and All Men Shall Fall. Lyrically, I spoke my truth, and for those that heard that truth I can only hope it enlightened and spoke to you and that you will carry those words close when you think of me.

As much as I loved sharing the stage with these guys, deep down inside I knew that Kill Ritual was not the vehicle for me to share my vision with forever. As much as I tried to put those feelings behind me, I knew that this was just another continuing chapter in my Rock n’ Roll anthology.

To all of the friends and fans…

Forgive me for leaving you in what seemed in haste, but this has been something I’ve been considering for a little while now but I hope that we can cross paths again someday soon.

To all of you that I’ve signed autographs for, taken pictures with, hugged, or just talked about life with… you will always have a special place in my heart.

Last but not least… I wish to thank the boys in Kill Ritual, Mark Kloeppel, Joann Gullo, and Extreme Management for all of their hard work and to their future success.

Peace and Namaste.

I’ll sure I’ll see you again soon!
David Reed Watson

Kill Ritual Update Fall/Winter 2016

Posted on

(From the Kill Ritual Website)

Hey gang it’s been awhile since we laid down an official update!

Good news; no one died, became a Jehovah Witness or joined a Satanic Cult (yet)! We’ve actually been recording the follow up to our last CD Karma Machine and are about 80-90% there.  Luckily we were able to enlist the talents of none other than Matt Thompson from King Diamond to lay down the drums tracks for the CD and as expected it’s pretty goddamn awesome. Of course he’s not joining the band as he has bigger fish to fry, but it was nice to have some talent of his caliber involved.

11 tunes’ in the bag and again we’ll hit up Andy LaRocque and Sonic Train for the mix and mastering. The CD went down as a trio this time with Matt on drums as mentioned, David Reed Watson on vocals and Steven D. Rice on all guitars, bass, etc. as well as engineering/producing the recordings. Song titles and all the usual press/promo BS at a later date as we get it done. Expect an early 2017 release with the usual tour dates etc. to follow up is in the works. Rock!
