Ritual Error Share “Life As A Contact Sport” Single & Announce Debut Album

London, UK’s Ritual Error are a subversive power stirring within the UK’s underground landscape. Melding the razor-wire sharpness of the Minutemen, the fury of early 90’s San Diego post-hardcore and the metronomic noise-rock of the mid 90s. Their output is a unique take on post-hardcore and noise-rock that channels the new paranoias of our uncertain age, bristling with off-kilter energy and frustration. They are now prepareing to unveil their debut long-player, Dial In The Ghost, due for release via TNSrecords on the 8th November. Lead single, Life As A Contact Sport, opens with a hypnotic vocal sample of Malcolm X before launching headfirst into a deluge of discord, a whirlpool of churning guitars, furious bass and punishing drums.

“Lyrically, the album speaks to ghosts, dictators, and promoters who don’t pay you. It explores dual heritage, alienation and anti-blackness. We are not a band who go through the motions. It matters to us. We hope this record speaks to the horror of the current moment, both as a witness and a riposte, but also excites people who dig all the -sometimes obscure – bands we do. This type of music can’t die. In that sense, we feel like punk was never dead, it just had rent to pay.”
