For Immediate Release
New Kill Ritual CD Nears Completion/Rescheduled September US Tour Announced
SF Bay Area Metallers Kill Ritual featuring x members of Imagika and Dark Angel are nearing completion of their sophomore CD to be titled “The Eyes Of Medusa” which will be completed in September and again mixed by Andy LaRocque of King Diamond fame and engineered by Kill Ritual guitarist Steve Rice. The CD finds the band expanding on there already diverse metal sound with new found hooks and aggression.
Guitarist Steve Rice comments on the new CD, “The new material finds us digging a little deeper into our influences and roots and solidifying the direction we already established on our debut. We don’t care about classifying ourselves within the genre of Metal because as a band we embrace Metal for all its strengths and it will definitely be apparent on this new album.” An early 2014 release is tentative.

US thrash metaller KILL RITUAL, the band featuring former members of IMAGIKA, DARK ANGEL and ELDRITCH debut new video for the song “Old School Thrasher” off their debut CD “The Serpentine Ritual” to be released Oct. 30th through Scarlet Records. The video can be streamed below:
The video was shot on Friday July 13th 2012 at Sound Wave Studio, Oakland CA. Filmed and edited by Mike Sloat (MACHINE HEAD, TESTAMENT).
Lead Guitarist Steve Rice comments, “Simple, raw and in your face like the song itself, what better way to introduce fans to the world of Kill Ritual than with a bunch of long hair sweaty thrasher in jeans and t-shirts kicking it out! Like the lyric says “And Now I’m Metal Tonight!”
