The world is a scary place right now and Grief Ritual are here to channel that through their debut EP 'Spiritual Disease'. Released later this week, the twenty-minute record explores the stripping away of human rights, increased poverty and wealth inequality, all wrapped up in a punishing concoction of blackened metallic hardcore, post-metal, and black/death metal. We caught up with vocalist Jamie Waggett to discuss Grief Ritual's band's formation, influences, ambitions and more.
