Live Ritual – Friday the 13th is Blasphemy's first live album, first released in 2001 as a limited edition LP record via Nuclear War Now! The first 100 copies of the record (known as the Die Hard Edition by fans) were pressed on red vinyl and came with a bonus CD-R that contained the band's 15-track demo Die Hard Rehearsal, which was recorded at Ross Bay Studios on August 29, 2001. The album was later issued on CD, with the bonus demo, in 2002 through From Beyond Productions.
