Ramesses was a British extreme metal band from Dorset, initially featuring former members of Electric Wizard.

History

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. 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. 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. 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.
