Ritual Howls - Into The Water
New limited pressing on oxblood vinyl. FIYL: Peter Murphy, Nick Cave, Ennio
Morricone, Bauhaus. Ritual Howls are industrial rock meets cinematic country goth. Entering a vast nothingness of everything,
exploring the unknown, baptizing, cleansing yourself, actually putting something or someone into water, like an act of murder, hiding
something. "Look into the water at your Francis Bacon face. Are your lies that easy to erase?" Welcome to the trio's third album, Into
The Water. Detroit's Paul Bancell (vocals/guitars), Ben Saginaw (bass) and Chris Samuels (synths, samples, drum machines) are
Ritual Howls. They collect samples of the physical world and feed them with guitar, vox, bass, synth and drum machines to create an
aura of darkness over a pop sensibility. Paul Bancell provides lyrics that Poe or Lovecraft would approve of while Chris Samuels and
Ben Saginaw provide sounds that bring his macabre tales lurching into the world of the living. Collaboratively, Ritual Howls create a
surreal, introspective gloom that could fuel a disco in hell, a soundtrack to your favorite nightmares and most grisly fantasies. 01.
