Ceremony was founded in the Rotterdam area in 1989 by Peter Verhoef on guitars (ex Phlebotomized) and released 2 demos, one 7‘’ ep and their debut full lenght 'Tyranny From Above' in 1993. The album was re-released by vicrecords in 2016. Due to this succesful re-issue and the demand for more, Ceremony reformed the same year and started working on new songs. The second CEREMONY album is called ‘Retribution’ and contains 8 furious death metal tracks. Less downtuned then their debut album, but more complex and with some slight black metal touches. But for sure still great Dutch death metal.
