THE ROYAL RITUAL //
The Royal Ritual is the brainchild of dark/industrial mastermind and globally renowned producer David Lawrie. What started as a studio lockdown project in Northern California evolved into something darker and more intense—the debut album MARTYRS was forged in isolation and became the final creation before Lawrie packed up and headed to the UK.
With brutal synthetic beats, gritty percussion, and world instruments clashing in perfect chaos, The Royal Ritual carved out a new industrial realm that caught fire in the goth/industrial scene.
On top of that, Lawrie was tapped to remix the title track for IAMX’s 2023 album Fault Lines1—a remix that dropped on the EP ahead of the full release.
When it’s time to hit the stage, Lawrie brings in the heavy artillery: guitarist Dan Kentley, best known for tearing it up with RSJ.
