In addition to supporting doom metal, Lee Dorrian's Rise Above Records is spearheading a revival of the sound of early 70s British progressive rock - sometimes referred to as "proto-prog". Blood Ceremony are a new band out of Canada. The quartet is clearly infatuated by Jethro Tull but the overall musicial experience has a dark satanic feel. Think more in terms of Black Widow and Black Sabbath. Its kind of a cliche to cite Ian Anderson as a reference whenever flute is one of the integral instruments used. Sorry to say it but vocalist Alia O'Brien also plays flute and she really does sound a lot like Anderson. There are some jazz influences in her playing that I read one reviewer compare to Herbie Mann and I can see the similarities. One of the albums that upon first listen you would swear it was hidden away in some secret Vertigo tape archive back in 1971. I love this stuff!!!

Banda Canadiense, que realizan un rock estilo RETRO STONER con algo de progresivo, enraizado en los inicios de los años 70. Para que te imagines, mezcla una base de Black Sabbath del 71-72 con BLACK WIDOW, con muchas flautas a lo Jethro Tull y súmale unos teclados psicodélicos de los años 68-69, ponle una cantante a lo CURVED AIR y tendrás BLOOD CEREMONY. Tiene algunos toques de DOOM, pero más que nada para darles un toque de contemporaneidad. Excelentes temas, muy entretenidos, con mucha fuerza del 70 y muy buenas flautas a lo Ian Anderson del 70. Toda una sorpresa, recomendado 100% para los amantes de los primeros Black Sabbath y Jethro tull.
