SF Bay Area/Phoenix/Vegas based heavy metallers KILL RITUAL are currently recording their new album. The band’s lead guitarist Steve Rice has issued the following update:

Hey gang, it’s been awhile since we laid down an official update! Good news no one died, became a Jehovah Witness or joined a Satanic Cult (yet)! We’ve actually been recording the follow up to our last CD Karma Machine and are about 80-90% there.  Luckily we were able to enlist the talents of none other than Matt Thompson from King Diamond to lay down the drums tracks for the CD and as expected it’s pretty goddamn awesome. Of course he’s not joining the band as he has bigger fish to fry, but it was nice to have some talent of his caliber involved.  11 tunes’ in the bag and again we’ll hit up Andy La Rocque and Sonic Train for the mix and mastering. The CD went down as a trio this time with Matt on drums as mentioned, David Reed Watson on vocals and Steven D. Rice on all guitars, bass, etc. as well as engineering/producing the recordings. Song titles and all the usual press/promo BS at a later date as we get it done. Expect an early 2017 release with the usual tour dates etc. to follow up is in the works. Rock!

KILL RITUAL released their latest effort “Karma Machine” in 2015 along with a video for the song “Rise” that was mixed/mastered by guitar legend, King Diamond member, Andy LaRocque at his Sonic Train Studios.
