Embrace the ▲
The triangle has been a pretty steady element across the entire Witch House scene and I’ll be damned if this song from †‡† (Ritualzzz) isn’t a love song befitting it’s clandestine ideology. From the ghostly vocals, beats beats decapitating as they hover well into the red down to the use of Heath’s “USA Boys” as a backing sample… in just over three short minutes †‡† (Ritualzzz) manages to capture the past, present and one of a million possible futures for Witch House.
It’s kind of odd to call someone a new force in scene that’s barely a year old but that’s exactly what †‡† (Ritualzzz) has done. A couple of soundcloud tracks and a mix all of a sudden spurned not only one of this year’s best EPs but a fucking statement to the fact that †‡† (Ritualzzz) isn’t merely one of countless Witch House acts readily forming in the wake of groups like Salem and Mater Suspiria Vision… but an artist capable of dragging Witch House by it’s hooves into whatever direction he sees fit.

Great stuff. Where sifting through tracks can come up sounding like demos and sound collages, †‡† is always in Hi-def and consistently sounds like †‡† (Ritualzzz.)
I like how the ‘EYE’ track ties into my Lost Highway Soundtrack obsession, and ‘INITIATION’ is really fun to mix with dj tron.
