Ceremonial Bloodbath formed in 2015 for the single purpose of creating extreme raw metal that creates chaotic, swarming hellscapes with barbaric rhythms holding the caving ground underneath. This Canadian 4-piece hails from Canada’s West Coast in allegiance to sculpt their anti-music which began entirely committed to themes of ritual human sacrifice. Born beneath a black hole in Vancouver, BC and founded by Abysmal Berserker, Faceless Infinity, and Nuclear Hammer Throne, the project developed and began to conjure and include blasphemic themes. The Nocturnal Black joined the project during the recording of their first LP The Tides of Blood, released in 2020, which shifted the live rituals to include simultaneous violent doubled vocals. In 2023, Genesis of Malignant Entropy was released featuring 9 tracks of twisted sonic chaos, developing the band’s sound further. Most releases from the band feature fully developed and original samples created by lead guitarist Abysmal Berserker, which are often featured in live performances. Callers of nuclear Armageddon, from beyond, decipherers of the unnameable sickness – driven mad by unholy flute and war drums of a sadistic deity – Ceremonial Bloodbath, desecrators of the holy man’s moral oasis and extractors of perverse soul. A horde of abominable sonic extermination come together to summon a darkened scourge of complete bestial death metal and aural abandon in Europe for the first time in 2025 to perform at Kill-Town Death Fest and to embark on their first European tour in support of the twisted sonic nightmares created by Canada’s Antedeluvian. The European sets will include material from all releases, including demos, splits, and their two LPs, as well as an exclusive limited self-release of new material available only at live rituals on tour.
