Singer/guitarist Paul Bancell had been writing and performing solo as well as in several bands and was looking for collaborators for a new project.

Ben Saginaw (bass) and Chris Samuels (synths, drums, drum machines) were acquatances that became natural fits.

With the help of a friend (Jeff Navarre), they recorded their first full-length in Ben's art studio using a laptop.

Paul tracked vocals at home in his bedroom and, not wanting to relinquish control, mixed and mastered the album himself.

A formidable introduction to the band's haunting, cinematic blend of twangy industrial rock, their self-titled album established the band as a unique force in the landscape of dark music, both past and present.

Separated by a decade, four LPs, two EPs later, Ritual Howls is an impressively cohesive first effort and testament to the band's vision that, even in its infancy, forged a distinct sound that has only matured with perfection over time.
