Ritual Device Biography by Mike DaRonco
Ritual Device imported the Chicago sound of Big Black, the Effigies, and the Jesus Lizard inspired punk to their hometown of Omaha, NE. With their own ire of complex guitars and screamy vocals, Man's Ruin Records debuted the quartet's hallmark noise on a 1994 split 10" with Killdozer. Continuing with the -ismist Records 7" of Rabe, the lineup of Randy Cotton (bass), Eric Ebers (drums), Mike Saklar (guitar), and Timothy Moss (vocals) settled in 1995 as they toured the East Coast. But by the time their live album Trademark of Quality Years came out by the end of that year, Ritual Device called it a day with Tommy Moss moving on to Men of Porn while Cotton and Saklar continued with Ravine.
Recorded by David Wm Sims of The Jesus Lizard, Pigface, Scratch Acid and Rapeman
