Ritual Tension - I Live Here Hotel California
Review by Denis Zhekov
Ritual Tension's album "I Live Here Hotel California" is a unique and compelling addition to the industrial rock genre. The band's use of atmospheric synths, heavy guitar riffs, and driving percussion create a haunting and intense sonic landscape.
The album's title track, "I Live Here Hotel California," sets the tone with its eerie, foreboding intro and catchy chorus. The lyrics explore themes of isolation and alienation, perfectly complemented by the song's dark and brooding instrumentation.
Other standout tracks include "The Truth," with its pulsing synth lines and powerful vocals, and "The End of the World," which features a driving beat and soaring guitar leads.
