The band formed in 2001 from the remains of the metal band Blump. Guitarists Flesh and Dolla teamed up and formed the concept of playing some traditional old school death metal. They asked David, who at the time was the lead singer of another metal band called Sinners Fate, if he would play the drums. After a while the lead singer from the band The Jam Session, Robert, agreed to take on the role of lead singer in Ceremonial Execution. Jonas from Thy Primordial stepped in and played the bass but later quit the band.

After a time with no one playing bass they managed to talk Tommy into playing, but he is originally a drummer and that was the reason he quit the band after recording a demo. The 4-track demo was released on CD, also 2 tracks from the demo were released on a 7" split with Borigor on Erode Records. BjÖrn from Demons To Prefer took on the bass duties after a while. Music-wise the idea to play old school death soon became a mix of Swedish and American death with some hardcore influences, it just came naturally as the music felt more brutal in that form.

Fall/winter 2004 CEREMONIAL EXECUTION entered a studio to record 9 tracks for an upcoming album, but since problems with their record company/publisher the decision was made to release Death Shall Set Us Free (now considered a full-length demo) on the internet as a free download in September 2005.

During summer 2006 Black God Rising 7" is recorded and released in spring 2007 by Bloodharvest, the heaviest most bloodsaked release so far.
