Die Recklingshausener RITUAL haben bei Reflections Records unterschrieben, wie das Label in einem Statement bekanntgab:


"RITUAL is a group of four passionated and honest young individuals. Above all, RITUAL is a statement against a mental and emotional downfall, which can not only be discovered in our society, but in the hardcore punk scene as well. In the spirit of our age, where life is defined by numbers and not by values; where information is gained through eating what you are being fed and not through thinking, RITUAL is set to be an inspiration for a new state of mind and a new state of heart. A strong 90's edge can not be denied, neither musically wise nor politically nor emotionally. Think of bands such as CHOKEHOLD, UNBROKEN, MEAN SEASON, REFUSED or ENTOMBED."
