The seminal California-based punk band of Ross Farrar, Anthony Anzaldo, Andy Nelson, Justin Davis and Jake Casarotti—announce the video for ‘Death Destruction Mayhem’ via Relapse.

Across two decades, band have earned their standing as one of punk’s most adaptable and unflinching bands, always ready to meet the moment without surrendering its principles. True to form, new LP pushes the group’s punk-forged intensity all the way to the fore, capturing the quintet at its most expressive, most expansive, and most timely. Ferociously alert, it contains ten songs of searing breadth. That means everything from bristling hardcore to post-punk — all while taking fundamental inspiration from Discharge, Crass, and other anarcho-punk troupes that first helped certain members of group find their own political voices back when they were teenagers. The result is a culmination of the band’s 21 years together: Ceremony knows how to make a return-to-form sound like evolution — and vice versa, as evidenced by anthemic post-punk track, ‘Death Destruction Mayhem’.

‘Tell Me Your Dream’ reunites combo with producer John Reis, a punk lifer whose eclectic noisemaking in Rocket From The Crypt, Hot Snakes and other legendary bands runs in parallel to Ceremony’s multitudes. After working on their’s acclaimed 2015 album, ‘The L-Shaped Man’, Reis maintains a unique perspective on the quintet — as a hardcore punk band, as participants in the greater California rock-and-roll tradition, and as friends. “John sort of joined the band on this one” says guitarist-keyboardist Anzaldo. “We could not respect him more as a guitarist, as a singer, as a songwriter. He understands what it’s like to be in every position. So we really gave him the keys.”
