Unholy Ritual

The year of 1997 witnessed the birth Unholy Ritual when Erevos (vocals) and Bertram (drums) set the basis for the band in Athens (Greece). With different line up changes in the years followed, U.R finally found a steady formula with the arrival of Q_Snc (synths), Drakhon (bass), Ianos (guitar) and Gareth (guitar) in 2000. In the summer of 2001, the first demo "Denial from Heaven" was recorded and was met with good critics from both the public and the press (including the Greek Metal Hammer and the Bulgarian Xaoc Magazine).
Immediately, Unholy Ritual started playing on various stages gaining a vast experience of live performance and proving their ability to storm stages in both Greece and Europe. Unholy Ritual was the supporting act for elite acts like Mayhem, Marduk, Satyricon, God Dethroned and the Greek thrash metal band, Flames. Moreover, the band was the headlining act for several concerts in Greece, but also in the Winterstorms Fest 2001 in Sofia (Bulgaria) and on the second day of the Metalheart Fest 2003 in Costinesti (Romania).
