Formed in the winter of 2005, BURIAL RITUAL is a unique blend of old school death metal, black metal, and thrash that few in their home state of Wisconsin have attempted in recent years. With a desire to produce heavy music that listeners of all metal sub-genres can appreciate, BURIAL RITUAL's sound has evolved heavily over the years from a "death 'n' roll" style to darker and more melodic. Their first EP release in 2007 entitled 'Last Rites' was but a taste of what the band was capable of, and with their full length album 'Tower of Silence' in the works they seek to completely reinvent themselves.
BURIAL RITUAL's overall theme is focused on death, the occult, religion, and burial practices. The music itself is the result of differing musical backgrounds that each band member relates to, and elements of death metal, thrash, black metal, grindcore, and doom are all present in some form. Their goal is simple; take the best elements of all these different sub-genres and meld them into its own dark creation and push the boundaries in terms of how a band's sound is defined.
The band has a strong work ethic that is apparant due to the sheer volume of shows that they play, and BURIAL RITUAL has had the honor to open for and play alongside such acts as Behemoth, Testament, Dimmu Borgir, Rotting Christ, and more.
