Nausea River has always taken the official stance that you should watch the local opening bands, even if they suck. And Ritual Grief were quite good! Theo sits down with Shawn Hixon and Pat Gillespie of Ritual Grief and talks melodeath and millennial woes. Tangents include Dorchester, choir, and kaiju movies.
