"Use Once and Destroy", their debut album, is a frenzied mix of hardcore, sludge, punk, and thrash metal. It was followed by "A Lethal Dose of American Hatred" just one year later.
Sadly, shortly after a tour in support of the album, disagreements between Anselmo and one of the other band members regarding the band's direction brought the project to a halt just before a third album was going to be released in 2004. Jimmy Bower has since confirmed that the band will not be reuniting.
2014 : Superjoint Ritual have reformed (under the name "Superjoint" for legal reasons) and will perform at this year's Housecore Horror Film Festival. They are also scheduled to play at Hellfest in 2015.

Superjoint Ritual Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A hollow paw, a quiet stare
Drain is slowly, the flow of birth
Eat the after(birth) and satiate the claw-rise
The dumb ones rise to salute the queer
Another dreary (outlook), people fearing
Dick the system, screw the city
Forget you were, forget you were
Die when you can do no more damage
These lyrics suggest a sense of abandonment and frustration with society. The first two lines speak to a feeling of being alone and unnoticed, with a "hollow paw" and "quiet stare" indicating a lack of power or voice. The reference to "drain is slowly, the flow of birth" suggests a slow, painful dying off of something, perhaps hope or creativity, while "eat the after(birth) and satiate the claw-rise" implies a desperate attempt to find nourishment or sustenance in bleak circumstances.
