Superjoint Ritual
From Free net encyclopedia
Superjoint Ritual is a New Orleans Hardcore/Sludge Metal band formed by Phil Anselmo, Joe Fazzio, and Jimmy Bower in the early 1990s, later to be joined by Hank Williams III, and Kevin Bond. Their style can be considered a mix of Pantera's style of groove metal and hardcore punk in the vein of Agnostic Front.
The name Superjoint Ritual comes from a lyric in the Darkthrone song, The Pagan Winter.
The band is currently on hiatus as a result of the death of Dimebag Darrell. Singer Philip Anselmo supposedly rumored to appearently be currently working on a band called Body and Blood with Crowbar guitarist/vocalist Kirk Windstein.
