Ripple Music is delighted to help unleash “The Infinite Mirror” – the sophomore full-length album from Manchester-based Ritual King.
Since their inception, Ritual King has consistently pushed the boundaries of their genre, weaving intricate tales both musically and lyrically, and taking listeners on a kaleidoscopic journey of sound. Formed in the vibrant heart of Manchester’s underground metal scene in 2016, the members of Ritual King came together with a shared desire to create something that defied easy categorization. Each member brought their unique influences to the table: from classic hard rock to the otherworldly echoes of Progressive Psych, elements of Folk and the gritty underpinnings of Stoner Rock. The result is a heady mix that’s as meditative as it is mosh-worthy.
“The Infinite Mirror” is a journey that transcends the traditional boundaries of Stoner Psych Rock, this album is a testament to the band’s continued evolution and their ability to tread new sonic territories. This album delves deep into the human psyche, exploring themes of introspection, duality, and the eternal search for meaning. It’s an album that demands to be experienced in its entirety, with each track acting as a fragment of a larger, interconnected whole.
Musically, “The Infinite Mirror” sees Ritual King pushing the envelope further than ever before. While their signature Heavy riffs and intoxicating rhythms are very much present, they’re complemented by expansive, atmospheric passages that transport listeners to otherworldly realms. From the hypnotic realm of “Flow State,” to the expansive soundscape of the title track “The Infinite Mirror” the album boasts a sonic palette that’s as diverse as it is mesmerizing.
