Blood Ceremony- Blood Ceremony

DOWNLOAD BLOOD CEREMONY
What do you get if you combine Black Sabbath riffs with a Jethro Tull flute? then add some female vocals that belong back in the 70's.
The answer is simple, you get Blood Ceremony!

Blood Ceremony are one of the latest bands to be signed to the highly respected Rise Above Records label, a label that specializes itself in doom metal and doom rock. They are really on the fast track to a great muscial career and are now present with there second fullenght release.

This post though is about their first selftiteled release. I've had the cd edition of it for a while and it's awesome. What makes Blood Ceremony stand out in the croud are the fantastic vocals and the flute, both handled by female frontman Alia O'Brien. Alia's vocals actually remind me a bit of Jefferson Airplane's singer. In my opinion there's not a bad track on this album. From the haunting opening track "Master of Confusion" to the mad flute sessions in the last song "Hymn to Pan". And the lyrics..

Here's a sample, how could you not love this!?
The season of the witch is autumn long
Weird silence falls upon the throng
They smoke black drugs with Saturn's bong
And blast our mind with evil song


The band

Alia O'Brien

I really want to see Blood Ceremony live! got really dissapointed a while back when they cancelled a gig in Sweden i was hoping to attend.
Anyway.. if you are looking for a slab of doomy occult rock, look no further Blood Ceremony is on the menu.
and yeah i shouldn't forget to tell they're canadian.
