Ritual

White Lies

Dense, synth-heavy rock with operatic baritone vocals. A cinematic collection of dark anthems designed for city nights and industrial landscapes.

January 17, 2011 · Fiction Records

Find on Amazon

A cold, cinematic intensity that balances industrial dread with euphoric, stadium-sized release.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive synth hook that anchors the chorus of Bigger Than Us.
The industrial, mechanical clatter that opens Is Love before the bass kicks in.
The atmospheric, slow-burn tension of Peace & Quiet that builds into a massive wall of sound.
