Blood Ceremony’s second album delivers plenty of doom-laden rock steeped in Satanic imagery and witchcraft lore. “My Demon Brother” is a boiling cauldron of fuzz chords, gloomy organ, and incantatory moans from Alia O’Brien. But the Canadians also add more prog this time around: “Morning of the Magicians” opens with a jazzy, Jethro Tull-like swing before sprouting ghostly flute cries and gentle acoustic picking, while “The Hermit” is a medieval-tinged folk rocker that makes them sound like the house band in King Arthur’s court.
