Black metal band from USA created in 1993.

Ritual has been an influential part of the metal scene since 1994. Their first album "The Summoning" was released on Wild Rags Records in 1995 and has become a classic in the genre. They went on to create "Demonic Winter Metal" in 1997, "Soldiers Under Satan's Command" and more. The band split up in the late '90s. But Ritual proved to stand the test of time.

The band has re-formed and a brand new Ritual full length album "The Resurrection" is out now!
