Ritual Error announce debut album ‘Dial In The Ghost’ and drop explosive new single "Life As A Contact Sport"
London post-hardcore trio Ritual Error have officially announced their debut album Dial In The Ghost, set for release later this year via TNS Records. The album, a long-awaited offering from the rising underground act, promises to be a bold statement of the band’s intense sound—a fusion of post-hardcore aggression and noise-rock experimentation.
Ritual Error, known for their chaotic yet precise live performances, have spent the last two years honing their craft, and Dial In The Ghost is expected to capture the frenetic energy and raw intensity that has made them one to watch. Fans of the band’s unpredictable sound—equal parts jagged guitars, pounding drums, and snarling bass—will find plenty to dive into with this debut full-length. Drawing influence from the sharp, angular rhythms of 90s San Diego post-hardcore and the abrasive noise-rock of the mid-90s, the album is a reflection of the disillusionment and frustrations of modern life, channelled through their unique sonic lens.
As a taste of what’s to come, Ritual Error have dropped their new single "Life As A Contact Sport," a fiery track that sets the tone for what the album will deliver. Opening with a gripping Malcolm X sample, the song spirals into a whirlwind of dissonant guitars and relentless drumming, while the band's trademark off-kilter energy is palpable throughout. The accompanying video, featuring a high-octane live performance, showcases the sheer intensity Ritual Error brings to their music.
With Dial In The Ghost on the horizon, and "Life As A Contact Sport" already making waves, Ritual Error are poised to bring their subversive, hard-hitting sound to a wider audience. Keep your eyes peeled for their upcoming tour dates, where they'll be unleashing this album’s fury on stages across the UK.
