I'd like to recommend Black Ritual... mainly because I've recently become obsessed with them.
Anyway, here's some info on 'em:
(this is taken from their MySpace page)
Formed in 2004 after numerous changes
In the band's line up- emerged
The 5 piece metal masterpiece known as
Black Ritual.
Black Ritual
Consists of:
Chuck Calebro (vocals)
Rick Spitzer (guitar)
Gary Rackley (drums)
Andy Pope (guitar)
Eddie "Erock" Cousins (Bass)
Since the band became complete in mid 2006
They have taken the local metal scene
and made it enjoyable again.
With power driven vocals, insane guitars, haunting bass,
intense drumming, and an amazing stage presence,
Black Ritual
Is a completely addictive band.
Packing out shows at some of the Carolinas
Most well known venues such as :
Tremont Music Hall (Charlotte, N.C.)

The members of Black Ritual are all about
writing music and playing intense live shows.
They have proven to be a crowd favorite.

Back to the scene in an imense way-
