INNERSTRENGTH RECORDS WELCOMES RITUAL KILLER TO THE ROSTER
Debut Full-Length Album Set for Release in 2026
Philadelphia, PA — Innerstrength Records is proud to announce the signing of Ritual Killer, a rising metal outfit from Chattanooga, Tennessee, known for their crushing riffs, aggressive two-steps, and unapologetically raw energy. The band will release their debut full-length album through Innerstrength Records in 2026.
Formed in the summer of 2023, Ritual Killer quickly made their mark with the release of their debut single “Exit Strategy” in early 2024, followed by their debut EP “I Never Said I Was Good” in July 2025. The band backed the release with two East Coast tours, earning a reputation for their intense live presence and relentless drive.
Now entering their second full year together, Ritual Killer’s lineup—Blake Cannon (vocals), Joe Burns (guitar), Bill Callahan (guitar), Hunter Gardenhire (bass), and Matt McPeak (drums)—continues to evolve as they prepare for a heavy touring schedule under Get in the Van Booking and the writing of their forthcoming full-length.
“Ritual Killer embodies everything we look for in a modern heavy band,” says Innerstrength Records founder Jason Curnow. “They’re raw, focused, and ready to put in the work. We’re excited to help bring their next chapter to life.”
Fans can expect new music and tour announcements in the coming months as Ritual Killer gears up for what promises to be a defining year.
