來自美國底特律廠牌的Felet，是由廠牌Ghostly International出來的Jeff Owens所創辦，主要都以發行氛圍、黑暗深沈的樂團及音樂為主，而Ritual Howls就是Jeff Owens所發掘的底特律三人男子樂隊。
戲稱自己是「鄉下來的野蠻人」，Ritual Howls第三張專輯《Into the Water》，就如同專輯名稱一般，帶著黑暗、痛苦、絕望、如同深不見底的漩渦一般將聽者淹沒。帶著濃濃的Lovecraft文字氣息的歌詞以及節奏，沉沉的鼓擊、詭局的吉他氛圍、如旁觀者冷漠的人聲，在這樣的樂聲中卻也成為點燃一場黑暗派對的disco能量。
超現實主義而壓抑的Ritual Howls，絕對是喜歡黑暗色調的後龐樂迷不會錯過的一張專輯。

Ritual Howls are industrial rock meets cinematic deathrock. Entering a vast nothingness of everything, exploring the unknown, baptizing, cleansing yourself, actually putting something or someone into water, like an act of murder, hiding something. "Look into the water at your Francis Bacon face. Are your lies that easy to erase?” Welcome to the trios third album, Into The Water.
Paul Bancell provides lyrics that Poe or Lovecraft would approve of while Chris Samuels and Ben Saginaw provide sounds that bring his macabre tales lurching into the world of the living. Collaboratively, Ritual Howls create a surreal, introspective gloom that could fuel a disco in hell, a soundtrack to your favorite nightmares and most grisly fantasies.
