Ceremony have announced their new album, Tell Me Your Dream, will drop on August 7th via Relapse. Along with the news, the band have shared new single, “Death Destruction Mayhem,” as well as a run of North American tour dates. Ceremony previously gave fans of the LP, with the track “Other Hells.” Ceremony will kick off their north American tour on September 9th in Montreal, other stops include Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Austin, and more. The band includes Ross Farrar, Anthony Anzaldo, Andy Nelson, Justin Davis, and Jake Casarotti.

“Tell me your dream in a time when intimacy and vulnerability seem neglected. Tell me your dream when reciprocity has become a contract. Tell me your dream when they ask, ‘What do you do?’ Something untrained by the mind that sparks inspiration.”

— Ross Farrar

Tell Me Your Dream was produced by John Reis, founding member of Rocket from the Crypt and Hot Snakes. After working on Ceremony’s 2015 album, The L-Shaped Man, Reis maintains a unique perspective on the quintet — as a hardcore punk band, as participants in the greater California rock-and-roll tradition, and as friends. “John sort of joined the band on this one,” says guitarist-keyboardist Anzaldo. “We could not respect him more as a guitarist, as a singer, as a songwriter. He understands what it’s like to be in every position. So we really gave him the keys.”

Tell Me Your Dream is a reflection of the enduring sense of trust forged within the band. This is no surprise considering Ceremony’s roots date all the way back to a grade-school friendship between Anzaldo and Farrar. “We’re bound together like family,” says Anzaldo. “Our relationships are beyond the band. Ceremony is going to live no matter what. We’ve shifted into this dynamic where the choice isn’t ours anymore.”
