Biography

Plague Ritual is an Oakland, California based force of modern metal, rooted in old school death metal savagery
and the melodic bite of the classic Gothenburg sound, sharpened with a modern edge.
Built on crushing riffs, relentless drums, and vocals that sound ripped straight from the grave,
the band fuses raw brutality with dark, hook-laden melodies.
Lyrically, Plague Ritual confronts corruption, mass decay, and humanity's obsession with self destruction,
turning societal collapse into something ceremonial, violent, and unavoidable.
Equal parts ritual and riot, their sound balances atmosphere and aggression,
honoring death metal's past while pushing it forward with precision and intensity
