Blood Ceremony

Canadian Occult Rock Band

Blood Ceremony is a Canadian rock band that blends elements of hard rock, folk, and psychedelic rock with a heavy dose of occult themes and imagery. Formed in Toronto in 2006, the band is known for their unique sound which incorporates flute melodies, reminiscent of Jethro Tull, into a doom-laden rock framework. The band's name itself is a reference to the 1970s Spanish horror film "Ceremonia Sangrienta." Fronted by vocalist and flautist Alia O'Brien, whose haunting vocals and commanding stage presence have become a hallmark of the group, Blood Ceremony has carved out a niche within the heavy music scene.
