Wolf In The Night [VOX 37 MC]

by Ritual Veil

supported by

Christian Schaefer Featured this album on the twenty eighth issue of RULE of THREE (bit.ly/RULEofTHREEbc). At first glance Favorite Toy seems to be a long lost track from Soft Cells’ Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret citing other early dark synth pop influences however Ritual Veil add a fresher, darker, ice-cold feeling mixed with a strong dancefloor affinity. Hip shaking beats, intoxicating synths and vocals that invite you to close your eyes and sing along. Great stuff. Favorite track: Favorite Toy.

Half past a dreamless sleep tonight Half left until we see the light You dance in the rain drenched streets Alone for everyone to see To your favorite dance club beat There's a gray filter in the sky It makes my days too bright Wake me up when it is night Just how long will it take before you decide Do you really want to face your fate at all Or keep burning in flashes of light There's a gray filter in the sky It makes my days too bright Wake me up when it is night In the dead of night Maybe go for a drive Just to feel alive I close my eyes Because we're having a ball Do you really want to face your fate at all You dance in the rain drenched streets Alone for everyone to see To your favorite dance club beat There's a gray filter in the sky It makes my days too bright Wake me up when it is night

It's all black Can't tell where it ends or begins Can't take it back My patience is starting to wear thin Is this a lie a fabrication I've produced in my own mind Do I even decide Is it my time To put a end to something that Can't stand the test of time Do I even decide It's a fact I cannot comprehend what's under my skin Silent attacks In never ending succession Is this a lie a fabrication I've produced in my own mind Do I even decide Is it my time To put a end to something that Can't stand the test of time Do I even decide Is this a lie a fabrication I've produced in my own mind Do I even decide Is it my time To put a end to something that Can't stand the test of time Do I even decide Do I even decide

I'm a witch on the weekend I really go off the deep end once my work is completed I'm a wolf in the night Quite likely to bite you When my composure's defeated I really wanted to go With you just like you said But you used my let down guard To get into my head I'm a witch on the weekend I really go off the deep end once my work is completed I'm a wolf in the night Quite likely to bite you When my composure's defeated In the night I really wanted to go With you just like you said But you used my let down guard To get into my head I'm a wolf in the night I'm a wolf in the night Quite likely to bite you I'm a wolf in the night I'm a wolf in the night Quite likely to bite you

Put your hands where I can see them I decide if you need them Close my eyes and I can feel when Precious lives are cheapened Who is your favorite toy? In the end times There's just no use to be nice We're running out of time Gonna make you mine You fell In love so quickly again Is it entirely genuine In the end times There's just no use to be nice We're running out of time Gonna make you mine Who is your favorite toy? Fell in love so quickly again

She sees the devil It's all around us she says Through shining teeth describes how she'd rather be dead She looks nice With lips of black When she looks back Gives me a heart attack But look twice Because below the surface She makes me nervous She's on another level I'm in over my head She says that god still speaks to us And she knows what he says She looks nice With lips of black When she looks back Gives me a heart attack But look twice Because below the surface She makes me nervous Think you see it Since you started to stare But it's not there Think you see it Since you started to stare But it's not there You start believing things may be not turning out right And it was all just a waste of time You start to see things that might Only be symptoms of a glitch in your mind You think you see it Since you started to stare But it's not there Think you see it Since you started to stare But it's not there

You heard me swear I love you still You didn't have to take those pills You thought it would be wise to stay inside Until the feelings turn to thrills Just a little time again For me You know I need just a little time again It's necessary Just a little time again For me Just a little time again You cast spells against your will only half-believing in your skill We found it to be nice to spend some time Until the feeling was killed Just a little time again For me You know I need just a little time again It's necessary Just a little time again For me Just a little time again Just a little time again You said for me just a little time You said for me just a little time You said for me just a little time I'm looking out for me and mine Just a little time again For me You know I need just a little time again It's necessary Just a little time again For me Just a little time again Just a little time again

about

"Take the familiarity of new wave, post punk and synthpop and throw a sexbeat and goth subculture cloak over it. Add a kind of starry-eyed new romantic feel to the whole mixture, and this is where Portland, OR trio, Ritual Veil, come in.

Ritual Veil have emerged with a solid six-track EP which explores those styles while sounding intuitive and honest. It's been a while since the last time we've listened to a release on which each and every individual track could be a standout single, and this upcoming band's debut EP is one of those cases.

Despite the strongly stylized aesthetics and trust on the traits and sounds of the past, Wolf In The Night surfaces sounding fresh, founded on the trio's impeccable artistic taste, throbbing beats and alluring synths, as well as a striking vocal delivery that always seem to carry a touch of melancholy.

Goth club frequenters and very early Depeche Mode and New Order devotees, sit up for this one."

Review:
Ritual Veil, based in Portland, can't get enough. The trio must have thought: we take some new wave, postpunk and synth-pop as a base, apply a coat of sexy beats with a dark edge and to top it off, give it a twist of gothic flavour. Would that work? Yes, it would!

Wolf In The Night appeared on Other Voices Records. A 7-track album, which by first listening brings up the following question: is this an normal EP or a 'Best Of', filled with super-hits? Well, it is still the first, filled with stylized, full-bodied, finely finished songs. They sound very retro and yet contemporary at the same time. Artistically thought through, a voice with the necessary sincere melancholy, beautiful beats and synths that happily wander through the songs with glee.

Favorite Toy opens as a pure post-punk song, only to turn slowly synth-pop-like. Guitars are prominent and present everywhere but in a correct balance to the other instruments. Gray Filter sounds up-tempo and poppy, and oh so danceable. Title-song Wolf In The Night is cut from the same wood. Fans of Depeche Mode and bands like New Order will certainly find their taste in Time Again. Ritual Veil will evoke that wonderful eighties feeling in many lovers of gothic.

Perfect for parties in dark places, preferably cellars, where everyone so it seems, strides weightlessly across the dance floor. With this music, yes you can!

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
