Superjoint Ritual was a New Orleans Sludge/Crossover Thrash band formed by Phil Anselmo, Joe Fazzio, and Jimmy Bower in the early 1990s, later to be joined by Hank Williams III, and Kevin Bond. Their style can be considered a mix of Pantera's style of groove metal and hardcore punk in the vein of Agnostic Front. A small trace of black metal can be heard too. Bands like Venom_(band), Celtic Frost and Darkthrone have been noted as influences also.

According to Jimmy Bower in an interview, the name Superjoint Ritual comes from a lyric in the Darkthrone song, The Pagan Winter.[citation needed].

A dispute between Anselmo and Fazzio led to the band's eventual split in early 2005, which was confirmed by both Hank Williams III[citation needed] and Jimmy Bower[citation needed].
