Grief Ritual

GRIEF RITUAL’s punishing brand of metalcore twists blackened metallic hardcore, and the crushing, slower sides of black and death metal to their extremities. On debut album 'Collapse', available from Church Road Records (UK) and Deathwish Inc (EU/US), they lay bare the anger, frustration, and disenfranchisement they feel about the UK and wider world. Human extinction, the cost of capitalism, genocide, ecocide, and the rise of populist right authoritarianism, and all that brings with it, are explored in garish detail across eleven tracks of despotic terror. ‘COLLAPSE‘ was written and performed by GRIEF RITUAL, produced by Jake Murray (Just Noise Audio) and GRIEF RITUAL, with engineering and mixing provided by Jake Murray (Just Noise Audio), and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Singles ‘BILE‘ ft. Harry Knott (Burner), ‘GNAW‘, ‘RECURSION‘ ft Rachel Aspe (Cage Fight), and ‘SPIRAL‘ have received critical acclaim from Kerrang! Metal Hammer, Knotfest, Revolver, Brooklyn Vegan, Ideoteq, Ghost Cult Magazine, Noizze, and more. With the singles also appearing on the Knotfest playlist, ‘Pulse of the Maggots’, BBC Radio 1 introducing with Alyx Holcombe, the Kerrang Chart, Apple Music: Breaking Metal, and Alex Baker’s Kerrang!
