Black Skull Ritual

PUNKS WHO DOOM WITH A DRUM MACHINE
Black Skull Ritual is industrial doom punk metal. Old school metal riffs and ear damaging, bass heavy 
drum machine beats. Bassist and vocalist Baron Von Strange growls with a Lydon sneer of punk intensity. 
Guitarist Karl Lawrence mixes punk and doom metal riffs drawing comparisons to Celtic Frost, Venom and 
the Sex Pistols in equal measure. Black Skull Ritual have brought sonic chaos to venues and festivals 
across the UK including a sold out show with black metal titans The Infernal Sea, electronic Nu-core 
pioneers Seething Akira, Die Kur, Pretty Addicted, Alien Vampires, Everest Queen and rising Essex 
metal stars Beyond Extinction
