2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
It came from Oli and myself throwing thousands of names back and forward,it actually started as just Ritual Spirit and I think Oli suggested the A and it just stuck

there any local bands you could recommend?
We are based in and around Edinburgh, Scotland.the scene here is flourishing at the moment, there seems to be so many amazing bands at the moment from Edinburgh and Glasgow, bands I would suggest would be Darkness Divine, Ramage Inc, Freak Show,Dog Tired and Megalomatic
4. How would you describe your style?
We are just a good heavy rock band with lashings of grunge,thrash and heavy metal in equal measures

We are putting the finishing touches to our new single as we speak,which we are all very excited about
