Ceremony

Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy built this record around their deep interest in mysticism and Native American themes. The opening title piece establishes a grand mood, signaling the group shift as they entered the early nineties decade.

Completed when hard rock faced a changing market, the collection keeps a clean, big-stage quality common to their label output. It shows a group performing with full power, pairing tough blues patterns against the dreamy, mind-bending styles that formed their known personality.
