JC Lobo, known as Ritualz (†‡†), marks 15 years in the music scene with the release of Forever, a double album compilation from Re:Mission Entertainment featuring 22 tracks. Most tracks have been re-recorded with fresh arrangements reflecting Lobo’s live performances, alongside two new songs, "Testify" and "Nothing." The album showcases Ritualz’s diverse sound, spanning from witch house to industrial influences, and is dedicated to the memory of Sky Hutchens and Aaron Perez. Set to release on July 18, it’s already available for pre-order on Bandcamp.
What do you think about the evolution of an artist’s sound over time, and how do re-recordings like these influence our perception of their original work?
