Dark Ritual is an Indian symphonic death metal band based out of Indore, Madhya Pradesh. The band was established by two heedless souls who met up with same untamed aggression and an idea of singing the tunes of mystique Indian Dark Rituals. Nick (vocals) and Nishant (Guitars) explore the dark, neglected, feared and hated section – Aghori and their 'cruel' ceremonies. Thus, the name, 'Dark Ritual' evolved. What began as a project between two friends has now developed into a six-piece band with a large following. They aim to set up their own Indian Death Metal kind.
