About Ritual Device

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 whilst their live album "Trademark of Quality Years" came out by the end '94, Ritual Device called it a day with Tim Moss moving on to Men of Porn while Cotton, Ebers and Saklar continued with Ravine. Cotton continued his hard core ways with Members of the Press while Saklar drifted into other sonic avenues with No Blood Orphan and Comme Reel. Eric Ebers is currently drumming for Pony Wars.
