Detroit's Ritual Howls is a band consisting of Paul Bancell, Ben Saginaw, and Chris Samuels. They combine samples from the physical world with guitar, vocals, bass, synth, and drum machines to create a unique blend of darkness and pop sensibility. With lyrics that would impress Lovecraft himself and sounds that bring his macabre tales to life, Ritual Howls creates a surreal and introspective gloom. Their music could easily fuel a disco in hell or serve as the soundtrack to your darkest nightmares.
Paul Bancell provides haunting lyrics while Chris Samuels and Ben Saginaw contribute eerie sounds that transport listeners into their own macabre fantasies. Together, they craft an atmosphere that is both unsettling and captivating.
If you're looking for music that defies convention and delves into the depths of darkness, look no further than Ritual Howls. Their music will leave you spellbound and craving more.

New Wave / Post Punk

The story of Ritual Howls begins in a southwest Detroit basement in the early winter of 2012. Singer/guitarist Paul Bancell had been writing and performing solo as well as in several bands and was looking for collaborators for a new project. Ben Saginaw (bass) and Chris Samuels (synths, drums, drum machines) were acquatances that became natural fits. With the help of a friend (Jeff Navarre), they recorded their first full-length in Ben's art studio using a laptop. Paul tracked vocals at home in his bedroom and, not wanting to relinquish control, mixed and mastered the album himself. A formidable introduction to the band's haunting, cinematic blend of twangy industrial rock, their self-titled album established the band as a unique force in the landscape of dark music, both past and present. Separated by a decade, four LPs, two EPs later, Ritual Howls is an impressively cohesive first effort and testament to the band's vision that, even in its infancy, forged a distinct sound that has only matured with perfection over time.
