6 years ago, The Gemini Ritual was just an idea in g.raval's head, coming off limited success with 2 previous bands, he was contemplating starting something on his own. With quite a bit of experience in the recording arena, g.raval created The Gemini Ritual. After a couple of years, learning, and discovering his style, raval finally nailed down what would be his own, a brand of industrial rock consistant with the genre, but new and fresh. In 2001, TGR released an industry EP called Piece Of Me, and EP with a title track that would be a main stay in TGR's repitoir. The release of this ep helped TGR get a small following of listeners and got Piece of Me a 9th place finish in the 2004 IndieJournal awards, a great start.
Raval continued to work and polish his style and compile enough soild material for his first full length release, and a few months ago, recruited Twitch from The Shadow Element as the keyboard player for the TGR project. Confident that Twitch would bring a strong element to TGR's presentation, the first addition to TGR was announced. As of now, raval and twitch are still recruiting and audtioning musicians to finalise the lineup.
Which brings us to the current stage, The Gemini Ritual, on 10-31-05, released their debut CD, a full length collection called HEROIN, a 17 track collage of expression and emotion. With tracks like Sometimes I..., Heroine [suicide] and even their cover of Lovesong by The Cure, this rookie release from an unknown artist will leave it's mark in record time, solid, top notch production and spectacular songwriting set it high above others in the genre.
The story from beginning to end is a story of confusion, struggle, self depravity, addiction, sex and love, almost every track just as memorable as the next, a stellar effort with nowhere to go but up.
