Uniting a vision of nothingness with an ascendant hope of redemption, Ceremony hybridize blasting American-style death metal with the melodic architectures of epic beauty that have traditionally defined the European metal experience, creating a fusion of all death metal traditions that more accurately expresses its paradox: recognizing the cold hard mortal truth of life, but seeking a creative construction within it that escapes from the confines of being afraid of that reality (our human problem; our fear). With former Sinister bassist Ron van der Pol blasting alongside other experienced musicians, it is not surprising this band took a more aggressive tack to the genre, ranking with Atrocity and Seance in menacing musical battery.
