‘RITUAL’
BRAND NEW SINGLE OUT NOW
LISTEN HERE
TAKEN FROM THEIR FORTHCOMING STUDIO ALBUM
RELEASED OCTOBER 20, 2023
PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM HERE
Dutch metallers, Within Temptation, have released their brand-new single 'Ritual' today. The song is the focus track of their upcoming eighth studio album Bleed Out, on October 20th.
Reflecting the tumultuous state of the world, for their newest record the band have drawn inspiration from events such as the murder of Mahsa Amini in Iran and the war in Ukraine. However, that isn’t to say that there’s no light to balance out the heavy shade on Bleed Out.
The delectable ‘Ritual’ is one of the kinkiest songs the band have ever written, as Sharon explains. “It’s a fun track about seduction, about the lady taking power in a male dominated world and taking her own initiative.”
The song is inspired by the iconic Quentin Tarantino movie From Dusk Til Dawn, about a seemingly normal road trip turning into a vampire slayer party.
