About Me
It was August 2004 when the two original guitarists, Ansie and John, began rehearsing metal pieces. They had Prince as their drummer a month after and practised for a couple of months without a vocalist and a bassist before going through a "hibernation period" from December '04 to mid-February '05. Only then they had Kitin as their vocalist, and Noel as their bassist. Ritual Slaughter began having gigs late that month, but has actively performed only on April the same year. The songs they play got a dash, to say, of grind and thrash. Again, the genre's classified as melodic death. They had to change the band line-up the first quarter of '06 and constantly adjust to different schedules... Had to undergo, AGAIN, a state of 'hibernation'. The new line up, by the way, includes Dante (Mortismatory) and Russell (Beyond Control) as the guitarists, and session-bassists are Bnoy/Raymond/Bryan (whoever is available.)They might not always accept invitations as all of them are practically unprepared for regular gigs. Kudos (and sincere apologies) to those who were inviting us the past months... ||| Someone who uses the name Kunehooo (thanks a lot!) in YouTube posted these vids 10 months ago... and the band wouldn't know it if it wasn't for the drummer of Mortismatory, Tonio. These clips were taken in Laguna Fest October 2005, Pacita Astrodome, San Pedro, Laguna.

BAND POST, DATED April 10, 2007

Encaged By Betrayal.
Completed September 2006.
Recorded April 2007. ||We finally decided to record our first compo after a number of band adjustments since 2005. ||We know we can't avoid comparisons with local/foreign bands and we know how crappy the song had become if it weren't for Kuya Roel of Major 7th Studio. (We owe him a lot!) ||We recommend you use a good speaker or headphone before playing the song, some riffs would be missing if you won't and vocals would be thinner. Hahah!!!
||
IMPORTANT:
WE HAVE DECIDED AS A BAND NOT TO GIVE AWAY COPIES YET. Sorry. We'll do that as soon as we record 3 or 4 more songs, and that would take years in our case.
