Biografie
Ceremony is an American hardcore punk band from Rohnert Park, California.
Forming in the San Francisco Bay Area, as a Vegan Straight Edge act, the band originally formed as Violent World until later changing the name to Ceremony.[1]In 2005, Ceremony released Ruined on Malfunction Records. This release was followed by their critically acclaimed first full-length album, Violence Violence, which included a re-recorded version of the Ruined EP.[citation needed] 2008 saw the release of Still Nothing Moves You, Ceremony's first release on Bridge 9 Records, described by Exclaim!'s Keith Carman as "hardcore’s equivalent of Hiroshima", which placed on Billboard's Top Internet and Top Heatseekers charts in August 2008.[2][3] After touring all around the world[citation needed] with bands such as Blacklisted, Converge,[4] and AFI,[5] they've released new music, including their third full-length album Rohnert Park in 2010.[6][7] In 2011, the band confirmed they had signed with Matador Records, and their final Bridge 9 release would be a covers-only EP, featuring the band's take on songs by Urban Waste, Pixies, Crisis, Eddie and the Subtitles, Vile and Wire.[8][9] In February 2012, the band released the album Zoo on Matador Records which was a departure from the harder style even more so than the Rohnert Park album was, with the new record focusing on a more oldschool punk sound in the style of Wire's Pink Flag album.,[10].[10]
The band's main influences are Joy Division, Suicidal Tendencies, Pink Floyd, Vegan Reich,.[11] The band's sound has been compared to that of Dillinger Escape Plan and described as a "non-stop bludgeoning of sonic fury" and "fast, brutal hardcore".[11][9]
