Blowout Presents
Grief Ritual ‘Collapse’ Release Show
Grief Ritual’s punishing brand of metalcore twists blackened metallic hardcore, and the crushing, slower sides of black and death metal to their extremities.
On their Church Road Records released debut album 'COLLAPSE', they lay bare the anger, frustration, and disenfranchisement they feel about the UK and wider world.
Human extinction, the cost of capitalism, genocide, ecocide, and the rise of populist right authoritarianism are explored in garish detail across eleven tracks of despotic terror.
With microscopic attention paid to sociopolitical issues such as austerity, racism, bigotry, misogyny, wealth inequality, gentrification, and eroding human rights.
Singles 'BILE' ft. Harry Knott (Burner), 'GNAW, and 'RECURSION' ft Rachel Aspe (Cage Fight), have received critical acclaim from Kerrang! Metal Hammer, Knotfest, Brooklyn Vegan, Ideoteq, Ghost Cult Magazine, Noizze, and more. With the singles also appearing on the Knotfest playlist 'Pulse of the Maggots', BBC Radio 1 introducing with Alyx Holcombe, the Kerrang Chart, and Alex Baker's Kerrang! Radio: Fresh Blood
The band have not only caught the attention of many with their recorded output, but they have also been riling up crowds with their explosive live performances across their short existence, with appearances at festivals such as Bloodstock, 2000 Trees, ArcTanGent and Tech Fest.
They hit up Rough Trade on 15th Feb for a Bristol album release show with special guests and peers Chewing Glass Collective, Breathe/Rust and Vicarage
'COLLAPSE' is available 31.01.2025 from Church Road Records (UK/Europe) and Deathwish Records (USA)
