Biography

On the summer solstice of 2010, Ritual put out their first release, Ramesses' Take the Curse. The album artwork features images by Jake and Dinos Chapman of their work Fucking Hell,[2] from the 2008 "If Hitler Had Been a Hippy How Happy Would We Be" exhibition at London's White Cube Gallery.[3] Additionally, Ramesses have released the following albums on Ritual Productions: Chrome Pineal, Possessed By The Rise Of Magik (with the LP featuring remixes from Justin Broadrick)[4] and re-issues of We Will Lead You to Glorious Times, The Tomb, and Misanthropic Alchemy.[5]

Drone rock band Bong have too released numerous albums with Ritual Productions: We are, we were and we will have been, Beyond Ancient Space, Mana-Yood-Sushai, Stoner Rock and a re-issue of the band’s rare debut S/T, which came with a previously unreleased bonus track.[6]

During 2013, Ritual released Superunnatural by new psychedelic rock group 11PARANOIAS, followed by Spectralbeastiaries in 2014 and Stealing Fire From Heaven in 2015. The band released their latest full-length, Reliquary For A Dreamed Of World in October 2016. The LP and CD formats for Reliquary For A Dreamed Of World came with a ‘Multi-Dimensional Paranoid Vision Key’[7] – based on the RGB colour model, a set of three coloured filters reveals different layers to the album artwork.

2015 saw heavy rock improv duo GHOLD release ‘Of Ruin’ – their debut on Ritual Productions. Their latest full-length, PYR, was released in 2016 and included an expanded line-up with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Oliver Martin.[8]

2016 further saw three new bands, and their subsequent releases, added to the Ritual Productions roster. The Poisoned Glass from Seattle/Atlanta, composed of Edgy59 and G. Stuart Dahlquist, released their debut album 10 SWORDS; Horse Latitudes from Helsinki released Primal Gnosis – their first on the Ritual Productions label - and NYC’s Thralldom released their first music in over a decade, titled Time Will Bend Into Horror, the latter being only available on digital formats.[9]

New band, Ancient Lights, signed to Ritual Productions in summer 2017. The band is composed of Adam Richardson (11PARANOIAS, Ramesses), Ben Carr (INTRCPTR, 5ive) and Tim Bertilsson (Switchblade). The band met in the early 2000s whilst playing shows together, eventually recording their debut album in North London during 2017 which is currently in the mixing process. 

Ritual Productions sees all of its releases as serious artistic processes which deserve and get the utmost care and attention to detail, only releasing the best quality products.

To date, 6 out of 8 Ritual Productions artists have appeared at the esteemed Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Netherlands.
