Superjoint, previously Superjoint Ritual, is an American metal band formed by Phil Anselmo, Joe Fazzio, and Jimmy Bower in the early 1990s, later to be joined by Hank Williams III, and Kevin Bond. Their style can be considered a mix of Pantera's style of groove metal and hardcore punk. A small trace of black metal can be heard, as well. Bands like Venom, Slayer, Celtic Frost, Voivod, and Darkthrone have been noted as influences also. The name ''Superjoint Ritual'' comes from a lyric in the Darkthrone song "The Pagan Winter". According to Bower, Anselmo wrote 70-80% of the group's music. Despite their early '90s establishment, it wasn't until a decade later, after the folding of Pantera, that the group recorded any albums. It was then that Superjoint Ritual garnered significant TV exposure on programs such as MTV2's ''Headbangers Ball'' and Fuse TV's ''Uranium''. However, the group's time in the spotlight would prove short lived. A dispute between Anselmo and Fazzio led to the band's eventual split in late 2004, which was confirmed by both Hank Williams III and Jimmy Bower. It was confirmed that they will have a reunion at the Housecore Horror Film Festival in Austin, Texas October 23rd-26th 2014. For legal reasons, the band will perform under name ''Superjoint''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.metalsucks.net/2014/08/19/superjoint-ritual-reunite-housecore-horror-fest-gwar-voivod-others-announced/ )〕 Hank Williams III was initially supposed to take part in this first reunion show, but had to bow out due to personal issues. Although their appearance at Housecore Horror was supposed to be the only reunion show, it is now confirmed that they will be performing as ''Superjoint'' at Hellfest Open Air 2015. == Members == ;Current members * Phil Anselmo - vocals, guitar (1993–2004, 2014-present), bass guitar (2002) * Jimmy Bower - guitar (1993–2004, 2014-present) * Kevin Bond - bass guitar (1993–1998), guitar (2002–2004, 2014-present) ;Former members * Michael Haaga - bass guitar (1993–2002) * Hank Williams III - bass guitar (2002–2004) * Joe Fazzio - drums (1993–2004) * Marzi Montazeri - guitar (1996-1998) ;Live musicians * Stephen Taylor - bass guitar (2014-present) * Jose Gonzalez - drums (2014-present) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Superjoint Ritual」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
