When you're from Topeka and the music you play could be tagged as 'metal', Lawrence shows aren't going to fall into your lap. Even powerhouse Topeka metal acts like Origin had to scrap for opening slots well after having proved their chops. Human Ritual proved its chops last time the Topeka sextet was in Lawrence, opening for Pigmy Love Circus. Their dual bass and double drum deep end gives HR an organic, tribal edge that won props in the Metal Maniacs review of their debut EP.
