Nomadic Rituals is a power trio hailing from Belfast, Northern Ireland, known for their crushing blend heavy sludge and doom metal. Formed in 2012, the band consists of Craig Carson, Peter Hunter and Mark Smyth. Since that time they have been creating uniquely thunderous and immersive sounds that incorporate elements from the extreme breadth of sludge and doom metal, along with layers of spaced out psychedelia and nods to progressive rock. The music delves into deep, expansive and resonant themes; each track offers a journey spoken through distorted guitars, booming rhythms, and guttural vocal accompaniments.

Nomadic Rituals dwells in low frequencies and distorted rhythms while they gulder about ancient times and theoretical futures.

Recording and mixing by Niall Doran at Start Together Studio.
Mastering by Brad Boatright at Audioseige.
