Joined by bassist\/guitarist \u003cb\u003eGabe VanBenschoten (Mossbreaker, Gale Forces)\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eFailure\u003c\/b\u003e's powerhouse drummer \u003cb\u003eKellii Scott\u003c\/b\u003e, the band seamlessly blends punk's many sub-genres, injecting hefty doses of post-punk and noise rock into their modern hardcore foundation. Their aggressive, angular guitars intertwine with driving basslines and frenetic drumming, all supporting Wolford's impassioned vocals – a soundscape further punctuated by unexpected samples and found sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRitual Barbiturate\u003c\/b\u003e’s debut album, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePain Manager\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, is anything but routine. This nine-track journey is a dissonant yet artful exploration of artful expression and modern angst. Haunting guitar leads, textural noise, and layered rhythms weave a tapestry that unveils new details with each listen. \"Liar,\" a sing-along punk anthem, delves into themes of self-reflection and personal growth, while \"Everything's Coming Up Fast\" and \"Overboard\" deliver with a more direct and aggressive tone. The title track pays homage to post-punk pioneers like The Jesus and Mary Chain and Warsaw, but with the muscularity and raw energy of Pissed Jeans. One listen reveals that Ritual Barbiturate is a force to be reckoned with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Ritual Barbiturate is tough to nail down stylistically, but you can hear elements of everything from noise rock to post-punk to hardcore coursing through their songwriting. Fans of bands like Drug Church, SPICE, and Militarie Gun should take notice.\" - \u003cb\u003eNo Echo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll orders ship out at least once-a-week.
