Ramesses was a British extreme metal band from Dorset, initially featuring former members of Electric Wizard.
History
[edit]Ramesses was formed in February 2003 by Tim Bagshaw and Mark Greening (ex-Electric Wizard) with Adam Richardson formerly of Lord of Putrefaction, Spirmyard, and Hexed.[1] Their second album titled Take the Curse was released in 2010.
In 2011, the band released their 3rd full-length album Possessed By the Rise of Magick. They shortly followed it up with the studio/live EP Chrome Pineal, which featured three new studio tracks and three live tracks recorded in 2007.
In 2012, it was announced that Bagshaw had left the band.[2] He had moved from England to the United States and formed the sludge / doom metal band A Serpentine Path with all 3 members of the band Unearthly Trance. Mike Vest of the band Bong filed in on guitar for live performances.
On 29 January 2013, on their official website, the band announced a "hibernation". It had also been stated on Greening's Facebook page that he had quit the band in October 2012 to rejoin a previous band, which was later revealed to be Electric Wizard.[3] Adam Richardson is working on a new project entitled 11Paranoias with Vest. Greening was also a previous member of that project.
On 9 February 2016 Ramesses announced the end of their hibernation.[4]
