Ceremony

In the Spirit World Now
Relapse (2019)

It’s fun to introduce old Ceremony to their new fans and hear comments like, “Wow, that guy must’ve worked out his anger issues”. It’s true that Ross Farrar’s lyrics have recently favored elegant introspection over spiteful threats to fight society with hate-packed fists, or to strangle it, or to curb stomp it, or to watch it burn to the fucking … Read more

Zoo
Matador (2012)

Few bands have covered as much ground within the confines of the hardcore genre as northern California’s Ceremony.

On their latest record Immersion, the trio has forced forth … Read more
