US / Italian “Thrash & Rollers” Kill Ritual would come in at the heavier end of the spectrum of my musical tastes. However, there is a lot to like about the band’s second album “The Eyes of Medusa” which is released through GoldenCore Records / ZYX Music on 4th April. Promotion of the album is being handled by Rock N Growl.


Kill Ritual formed in 2010, releasing their debut album “The Serpentine Ritual” in 2012. Like the earlier album, “The Eyes of Medusa” was recorded in California and the cover artwork is once again the work of Jobert Mello at Sledgehammer Graphix. Personal favourites for me would be the opening tracks “The Eyes of Medusa” and “Hair Trigger” as well as “Ride Into The Night” and “Just Another Sin”.

Kill Ritual is Steven Rice on guitar, Josh Gibson on vocals, Danyael Williams on bass and Gee Anzalone on drums. You can find out more at http://killritual.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/KillRitual

About “NI Rocks Recommends”

I'm not a reviewer and I certainly don’t claim to be a journalist, but I wanted to acknowledge some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI by artists, promoters and labels. That was the simple idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends”. To be honest I’m not really a big fan of the whole idea of “Reviews” as they just represent one person’s opinion!!  So I'm not giving marks or ratings, trying to categorise bands or compare artists. The albums that I’ll be recommending are merely those that I would buy myself and which you’ll be hearing played on my shows on Rock Radio NI.
