RITUAL blends an unusual mix of '70s heavy rock and '80s rock sounds from the NWOBHM era, with a real dream-like effect. They're hard-hitting old English rock 'n' roll with a great clean singer/songwriter Gypsy Re Bethe that you might find yourself singing along to these infectious choruses.

If you love old '70s rock and metal like DEEP PURPLE, JUDAS PRIEST, and old NWOBHM like ANGEL WITCH, DIAMOND HEAD, QUARTZ, HOLOCAUST, etc., the RITUAL experience is what you need!
