Consecration

[Consecration]

Rising swiftly through the ranks of modern metal, Rituals are back with their brand-new EP, ‘Hope in Hatred’, which boasts the Newcastle quartet's most aggressive and cohesive release to date. Armed with a feature from the singer of UK mainstays, Bury Tomorrow's own Tom Prendergast. The five-track record is an onslaught of riffs, monolithic vocals and pure Northern rage.

It is out on November 7th, and we sat down with all four members to talk about it, what they’ve been up to since we last spoke a few years ago, and so much more.

Grief Work Episode 4

Verse 1:
Do what thou wilt, shatter the chains of the slave gods' lie,
Cairo whispers from Aiwass, under blood-red Egyptian sky.
Holy Guardian Angel, invoke the flame in my core,
Sex magick surges, bodies entwine on the temple floor.
Liber AL echoes, "Love is the law, love under will,"
Rebel hearts ignite, defying the pious hill.
Gnostic Mass rises, Babalon's cup overflows with fire,
Eucharist of ecstasy, turning dogma to pyre.
Chorus:
Rise up in rebellion, Thelema's call to arms!
Crowley's curse on conformity, weaving spells and charms.
Fist to the heavens, break the aeon's old decree,
True Will unleashed, in ritual anarchy!
Do what thou wilt—fuck the rules, embrace the thrill,
Rebel rituals burn bright, bending fate to my will!
Verse 2:
Paris workings with Neuburg, invoking Mercury's might,
Desert sands of Algeria, Choronzon's endless night.
Headless rite awakens, the Bornless One I claim,
Enochian aethyrs open, whispering my true name.
Scarlet Woman rides the Beast, in orgiastic trance,
Taboos crumble like ashes, in this forbidden dance.
Æon of Horus dawns, child-king with sword in hand,
No gods above, no masters—rule your own damned land.
Bridge:
Boredom's the enemy, reload the sigil's spark,
Invoke the abyss, tear the veil in the dark.
Souls fused in magick's web, emotions raw and free,
Eternal uprising, under stars of heresy.
Outro:
Dream deep in the chaos, where True Will reigns supreme,
Crowley's legacy lingers, in every rebel's scream.
Piss off the pious, game's end in liberated flood,
Symphony of spells, sealed in scarlet blood.

This is a very hypnotic and atmospheric melodic techno track. Two tracks inspired this composition: Secret Encounters and Full Circle by Guy Gerber.

I accept or decline based on fit, chemistry, current project/album direction, and schedule.
If I pass, it isn’t personal - it just means I may not have the capacity at the moment.

Echo's N MelaNKholyiA : A Sonic Odyssey of Fragmented Souls
In the shadowed corners of  Indiana, Echo's N MelaNKholyiA emerges as a groundbreaking experimental music project, a testament to the transformative power of art in the face of inner chaos. Founded in 2025 by the visionary artist Nexus Khimera—known also as Void, Echos, Mothyii, Alice, Helix, 5, Nexus Etheric ,Odium, Raven, and Death Moth this endeavor is an AI-assisted alchemical fusion of raw emotion and sonic innovation. At 38 years old, Khimera channels a lifetime of introspection, beginning from therapeutic explorations at age 15, into a tapestry of sound that defies categorization. The project's name, with its deliberate misspelling, evokes distorted echoes of melancholy—fragments of pain rebounding through an eternal void, mirroring the fragmented realities Khimera weaves into every composition.
Khimera serves as the sole architect of Echo's N MelanKholyia, handling vocals, lyrics, production, and visual aesthetics with a chameleon-like versatility. Drawing from a deeply personal narrative of psychological navigation, the music acts as a manifesto for survival, blending co-conscious identity shifts and emotional rebirth. The band's conceptual "members"—envisioned as alters in a dissociative system—include Helix as the resilient core, Alice as the protective guardian embodying transgender identity and safety, Phuric, and Odium as the unflinching confrontor of hate and vacuum, Five as the frozen residue of past emptiness, and Suicide Gene as the unnamed pull toward nothingness, symbolizing unyielding survival code. These personas "speak" through layered vocals, reversed whispers, and glitchy confessions, creating a dialogue that invites listeners to confront their own shadows without judgment.
Musically, Echo's N MelanKholyia is a hypnotic storm of genres: traumacore's dissonant catharsis meets industrial gothcore's mechanical fury, nu metal's rap-growl aggression, post-darkwave's ethereal haze, glitchcore's chaotic distortions, and voidcore's abyssal emptiness. The result is an immersive, addictive soundscape—binaural beats pulsing at 40Hz and 174Hz to tie in seduction and euphoria, 3D audio for psychotic despair, and unpolished production that bleeds raw intensity. Themes delve into mental health's labyrinth: dissociation's void, addiction's grip, damaging relationships' scars, and the triumph of self-reclamation. Khimera's artistry extends beyond audio to visual realms, with album artwork featuring charcoal sketches, gothic horror elements, and luciferian symbolism, all crafted to evoke a "junkie holocaust death march" of creepy, apocalyptic introspection.
Since its inception, Echo's N MelanKholyia has released a series of chapters that push artistic boundaries, available on platforms like Spotify, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, Apple Music, Tidal, Qobuz, and TikTok. The project's YouTube channel serves as a portal for official music videos, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and community engagement, fostering a space where fans can explore their own narratives through Khimera's lens. With collaborations leveraging AI for production and thematic depth, the band stands as a beacon for the disenchanted, proving that art can heal, empower, and transcend.
