The Royal Ritual – the dark/industrial project of internationally renowned music producer and sound designer David Lawrie – was born just before the Covid-19 Pandemic. Initially, due to various lockdowns, the project was a studio-based affair, with the debut album MARTYRS being produced in complete isolation in Lawrie’s private studio in Northern California.
Blending harsh synthetic tones; dark, percussive sound design; and traditional world instruments, a new industrial landscape was being forged in The Royal Ritual, and the debut release was well received by the press and goth/industrial music communities.
The Royal Ritual was tasked with remixing the title track of IAMX’s 2023 album Fault Lines, with the piece being featured on the EP of the same name, released ahead of the album.
