Album Notes & Community Reviews

Toronto's Blood Ceremony breaks a seven-year silence with an enchanting blend of vintage 1970s doom and progressive rock. 'The Old Ways Remain' prominently features Alia O'Brien's haunting flute melodies and bewitching vocals over warm, fuzzed-out heavy psych riffs. The album is a brilliant, highly atmospheric continuation of the band's signature occult-folk aesthetic.
