Ancient Lights Sign to Ritual Productions

A new project with members from 11Paranoias and Switchblade? I’ll check that out. Sign me up. One of the best things Adam Richardson ever did was set up Ritual Productions as an outlet, first for his own work with Ramesses and subsequently as a place to release like-minded groups — looking at you, Bong — and those who take sonic cultistry beyond lyrics about the devil or killing ladies and to a place of genuine volume worship.

Ancient Lights, in which Richardson plays bass and handles vocals, posted an early jam on their Thee Facebooks, and I’d embed it if I could, but it sounds immediately like heady stuff that’s right in line with the kind of sonic gruel one might expect. Will be interested to hear what comes of the new outfit as they move forward, but as an initial welcome, it’s easy enough to dig the way they’ve said hello.

More to come, I hope.

RITUAL PRODUCTIONS INTRODUCES NEW SIGNING, ANCIENT LIGHTS; MEMBERS TAKEN FROM BANDS INCLUDING 11PARANOIAS, RAMESSES, 5IVE, INTRCPTR, SWITCHBLADE

Ritual Productions have a new offering for the masses – Ancient Lights – comprised of members from esteemed bands of the darkened palette, 11PARANOIAS, Ramesses, 5ive, INTRCPTR and Switchblade. The origins of our new signing comes after 13 unholy years of jammed discourse and psychic plotting between Adam Richardson (11PARANOIAS, Ramesses) and Ben Carr (5ive, INTRCPTR), with the optimal addition of Tim Bertilsson (Switchblade) catalysing the final reality of this band.

The band met in the early 2000s whilst playing shows together and they envisaged a future musical project…however distant that may be. 2017 now sees the manifestation of such surreptitious sonic scheming and the subsequent integration of the members within a united space – considering the trio all live in different countries. The band recorded their debut RITE in North London under the spell of the summer solstice sky which is currently in the mixing process. Prepare to be suffused!

ANCIENT LIGHTS IS:
Adam Richardson (bass/vocals)
Ben Carr (guitar)
Tim Bertilsson (drums)
