CEREMONY “solitary bleed” COLORED VINYL

Release Description

Colored vinyl limited to 200 copies!

Ceremony was founded in 1989 and belonged to the first wave of Dutch death metal bands, together with icons such as Sinister, Gorefest and Altar. Their fast and brutal death metal fit in seamlessly with the emerging extreme music scene of that time. In 2024, Ceremony began recording their third album, Solitary Bleed. This album marks a new step for the band, offering a darker, more theatrical sound with the intensity of their previous work. The album was produced by Erwin Hermsen (Toneshed Studio), known for his work with Legion Of The Damned and Dead Head, among others. Frank Schiphorst (Mayan) provided the orchestral aspect, which gave the music a layered and epic dimension. Linda van Vugt (Sisters of Suffocation, Everything Decays) provided guest vocals on the title track Solitary Bleed. Ceremony remains a name to be reckoned with in the Dutch extreme Metal scene, with a sound that continues to evolve and push new boundaries. With Solitary Bleed, Ceremony shows that their passion for music is still alive and kicking. The band is determined to promote the new album live in the coming years with a show on par with their new, dark sound.
