CEREMONY
CEREMONY brings its California-born hardcore intensity to the Black Cat, joined by Poison Ruïn and Dry Socket. After more than two decades of evolving within punk, the band arrives with its seventh album, *Tell Me Your Dream*, an expansive and forceful record that combines searing hardcore with moody post-punk.
The album reflects the band’s response to a period of social, economic, political, and spiritual uncertainty. Produced by John Reis, it features ten songs shaped by influences including Discharge, Crass, and other anarcho-punk groups. The current Ceremony lineup includes vocalist Ross Farrar, guitarist and keyboardist Anthony Anzaldo, guitarist Andy Nelson, bassist Justin Davis, and drummer Jake Casarotti.
