GRIEF RITUAL are a metal band from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, whose sound fuses metallic hardcore,&nbsp; blackened post-metal, and the crushing, slower sides of death metal. Formed in 2022, GRIEF RITUAL are known&nbsp; for their unrelenting heaviness, punishing riffs, and crushing breakdowns.&nbsp;&nbsp; New single ABYSSAL CONDITION, featuring AUSTIN HAYES of Florida's HEAVY//HITTER, is the first to appear from the upcoming CHURCH ROAD RECORDS release SURVIVE OUT OF SPITE.&nbsp;ABYSSAL CONDITION laments the hypocrisy of war and the arms trade. Exploring how a criminal class of&nbsp; billionaire have brought democracy, and manufactured consent for atrocity, within an economic system -&nbsp; capitalism - that needs human suffering to function.&nbsp;&nbsp; SURVIVE OUT OF SPITE is the follow up to debut album COLLAPSE, released January 2025 on CHURCH ROAD&nbsp; RECORDS, that brought GRIEF RITUAL critical acclaim from REVOLVER, BROOKLYN VEGAN, KERRANG,&nbsp; METAL HAMMER, KNOTFEST, BBC RADIO 1, and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;GRIEF RITUAL have caught the attention of many in a short time.
