Ritual was formed in Livingston, New Jersey by singer Billy Farley and guitarist Judson Legon in the early 1980s. By the end of '85 a four-song demo was released and soon radio stations in the area began to play cuts from the recording. Without any label support the band entered All Star Studio in Bloomfield, NJ with producer Brian Bannon & J. Vicari to record the 1987 debut 'L.T.M.P. '(Let the Metal Play). 'L.T.M.P'. It was well received and attention continued to grow. Ritual returned to the studio in 1989 to record a follow up to L.T.M.P. Due to studio shifts and personnel changes the planned full length was divided up into a pair of EPs. The first was the four-song 'Evil in Your Heart'. Sessions where then moved to another studio to finish the tracks for the second EP 'Dark Star'. Farley continued Ritual, despite line-up changes more recordings would be produced.
