BLOOD CEREMONY Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Canadian occult-prog psych-doomers Blood Ceremony make their long awaited on The Old Ways Remain, their fifth full-length and follow up to 2016's exceptional Lord Of Misrule. Described by their label as "flute-tinged witch rock", the group combine the flute-centric retro prog of Jethro Tull with the psychedelic menace of early Black Sabbath, concocting an alluring and macabre melting pot of Wiccan folk, stoner rock, and doom metal, while lyrically drawing on classic horror and folk tales from the Witchfinder General to the more ritualistic and Lovecraftian.
