SUPERJOINT RITUAL BIOGRAPHY
Superjoint Ritual was a thrash metal band from the USA, notably featuring Phil Anselmo of Pantera and Jimmy Bower of Crowbar. Their music has elements of hardcore, punk and thrash.
"Use Once and Destroy", their debut album, is a frenzied mix of hardcore, punk, and thrash metal. The guitar work, shared by Phil Anselmo and fellow Down cohort Jimmy Bower (normally a drummer) is simplistic yet effective. It was followed by "A Lethal Dose of American Hatred" just one year later.
Sadly, shortly after a tour in support of the album, disagreements between Anselmo and one of the other band members regarding the band's direction brought the project to a halt just before a third album was going to be released in 2005.
