Biography
Ceremony formed in Rohnert Park, California, in 2004 with vocalist Ross Farrar, guitarist Anthony Anzaldo, bassist Justin Davis, and drummer Jake Casarotti. After initially performing as Violent World, the band changed its name and released the EP Ruined in 2005, followed by the abrasive powerviolence debut Violence Violence in 2006. Ceremony signed with Bridge Nine Records for Still Nothing Moves You in 2008 and Rohnert Park in 2010, touring with acts including Blacklisted, Converge, and AFI. Guitarist Andy Nelson joined in 2011, replacing Ryan Mattos. After signing with Matador Records, Ceremony broadened its sound on Zoo in 2012, while the John Reis-produced The L-Shaped Man moved further into post-punk in 2015. The group joined Relapse Records for In the Spirit World Now in 2019, incorporating synthesizers and new-wave influences, and later released the single âVanity Spawned by Fearâ backed with âCalifornia Poppyâ in 2022. In 2024, Ceremony performed Rohnert Park in full at the Hollywood Palladium, with the concert later issued as Live at the Hollywood Palladium in 2026. Reuniting with Reis and preceded by âOther Hells,â âDeath Destruction Mayhem,â and âDark Summer,â Ceremony released its seventh studio album, Tell Me Your Dream, on August 7, 2026.
