Ritual Howls - Ruin

Ritual Howls’ sixth album, Ruin, casts its shadow from the first notes of “Follow the Sun,” where resonant guitar, taut bass, and pulsing drums fuse into a sound both haunting and urgent. Over a decade into their career, the Detroit trio refines their blend of industrial, goth, and post-punk into a dense, immersive experience—kinetic yet bleak, intimate yet mysterious. Echoes of old-school rave pulse through their meticulously crafted compositions, delivering a deeply physical impact. Shaped partly remotely and honed in sessions with long-time engineer Adam Cox, Ruin proves Ritual Howls remain at the peak of their powers. This edition on Night Vision Green Vinyl captures every shadowed nuance of their commanding, all-consuming sound.
