Left Behind wouldn’t exist without the influence of George Harrison and the Brian Jonestown Massacre. The song revolves around a sitar-like guitar line that we knew we wanted to have constantly looping to create a meditative drone. The lyrics are a collage of different lines and ideas that when brought together create a story of a long-forgotten ‘saviour’ that’s coming back but nobody needs them anymore.

Taken from the forthcoming EP, Vanished in Transition, Ritual Cloak take a more introspective and meditative direction, venturing into new musical territories that draw influence from ambient, jazz, doom metal and George Harrison’s Indian explorations. Leaning into down-tempo rhythms, drums have been exchanged for heart-beats, as if this EP is the duo breathing deep in readiness to face the next chapter.
