BLOOD CEREMONY - CD OLD WAYS REMAIN

Popis - OLD WAYS REMAIN:
Mesmerising and multi-faceted, Blood Ceremony have spent the last several years blurring the lines between heavy music's past and present. Formed in Toronto, Canada, in 2006, they were swiftly heralded as a cut above the retro rock pack, armed as they were with a sound that incorporated the riff-driven power of doom, the woozy, warm glow of psychedelia and the flute-fuelled magic of acid folk and rootsy prog. Seven years have passed since the band last released a full-length album, but that all changes after the covid lockdown months, ideas were distilled with a host of esteemed special guests, the Canadians' fifth album, 'The Old Ways Remain'. Diverse, hypnotic and eminently groovy, the new songs push Blood Ceremony's sound into new territory while also honouring the atavistic ethos that has led them to such triumphs in the past.
