Ritual Signs Record Deal With Bullet Tooth

Bullet Tooth is excited to announce the worldwide signing of Ritual from Hamilton, Ontario (not to be confused with a host of other bands of the same name across the U.S. and Europe).

Ritual is the brainchild of former Dead and Divine vocalist Matt Ryan Tobin. After the untimely demise of Dead and Divine's decade long career, Tobin found himself far from finished. With little to no time spent mourning, he threw himself head first into a new musical endeavour with the aid of four musicians who found themselves feeling all too similar.

The band will release a self-titled debut album via Bullet Tooth (Worldwide), Distort Inc / Fontana North (Canada) and Halfcut / Shock (Australia / New Zealand) in the fall of 2015.

Ritual is a band without guidelines or limitations, chalked full of raw and untainted passion; this was the band Tobin always set out to create, with him stating: “We were born from waste. We are the product of broken bands, miles traveled and mistakes made. We are Ritual.”

The band has been busy playing live with Protest The Hero and Silverstein and will play Riot Fest in Toronto on September 19 with Weezer, Motorhead, Thrice, All Time Low and more.

Speaking on the signing, Tobin said, "Bullet Tooth is definitely the right home for Ritual and we're really looking forward to the future with Josh and the rest of the team!” Ritual is:
