It’s always exciting to see a band step into a new season, and Ritual Servant is doing just that with the announcement of their new lead guitarist, Jack Graham. Known for their bold proclamation of the Gospel through heavy metal, the band is gearing up for live performances with Jack now part of their ministry.
As a fan of Ritual Servant, I’ve always admired their dedication to their message and music. Hearing the enthusiasm in this announcement feels like a reminder of why Christian metal continues to thrive: it’s not just about the riffs (though the riffs are killer)—it’s about the mission.
Jack Graham, the newest member of the band, is stepping into some big shoes, but his heart for this role and the Gospel is clear. In his own words:
“It is with a great honor that I take on the task of stepping into the shoes of some of the best guitar players Ritual Servant has known. It is with a meek heart in service to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ that I pick up my Cross and my Axe with Ritual Servant. I thank Patrick and Seth for trusting me with the future of Ritual Servant, and I thank all you listening for your prayers and long-awaited anticipation for the future to come. Peace be upon you, Brothers and Sisters. May the Lord bless you all. “
This kind of humility and dedication is what sets Ritual Servant apart, and Jack’s words show he’s not just about playing metal—he’s about serving the message behind the music.
Bill Roxx of Roxx Records shared his excitement, calling this a return for “Metal Gospel” and giving all glory to God. If their past work is any indication, we’re in for something powerful as they head into this new era.
Keep an eye on Ritual Servant—they’re bringing the heat and the Gospel in equal measure. Horns high for the King!
