Ritual has been an influential part of the metal scene since the early 90's and is one of the 1st US black metal bands ever. Their first album "The Summoning" was released on Wild Rags Records in 1995 and has become a classic in the genre. They went on to create "Demonic Winter Metal" in 1997, "Soldiers Under Satan's Command" and more. The band split up in the late '90s and re-formed in 2011 to release "The Resurrection." Ritual is currently playing live shows and a brand new album is in the works. A 20th anniversary re-issue of "The Summoning" is available now from Minotauro Records!!!

Voices of Ruin is a cutting edge metal band that combines elements of European melodic death metal and classic heavy metal with the devastation of west coast thrash.

Unrelenting in their delivery, they bring crushing and powerful anthems of burning worlds and vicious demons cast out from Hell. Voices of Ruin have received violent praise opening for high profile metal acts like Dark Tranquillity, Watain, Finntroll, Ensiferum, The Devin Townsend Project, Skeletonwitch, and many other international bands.

Voices of Ruin can be seen scorching stages all over Southern California and soon the world.
