A song rises up, as powerful as if it had been quietly growing over the last few years. There was time for it: After playing well over 300 concerts in 19 countries in a youthful frenzy since 2005 as one of the most active hardcore bands in Europe and leaving behind three albums and 7” singles, the cultishly revered band had been on hiatus since 2012. Now Julian Laur de Manos, Deni Pavičić and Philipp Wulf, whose friendship has continued even without Ritual, have reunited 14 years after their last album. Their first single “Silver Lining” is more melodic than ever before. The palette has expanded considerably, with some striking facets added despite the strong recognition value. Whereas the old Ritual were above all an angry band, here we hear a new hope – which is perhaps also based on the sense of community that has always welded the childhood friends together and is now more than ever aesthetically effective. A positive buoyancy radiates from the track and predestines the song to be a radiant sign of life – “Silver Lining” also says: “It feels good to be back.” Ritual are reawakened here as a hardcore band that seems to fit into the year 2025.

Lyrics:
Listen, kid.
I’m sorry for the things you’re gonna be put through.
The pain and the sorrow.
I know it’s not fair and no one asked if you wanted to be here in the first place.
Don’t be afraid of tomorrow.
Sometimes you’ll feel like you don’t belong, but you do.
And someday someone will walk up to you and try to tell you that you’re not enough, but you are.

It’s gonna rain.
It’s never gonna be the same.
There’s a new dawn after every night.
I’ll be here for you for as long as you want me to.
And the silver lining is I love you…

Listen, kid.
There will be days when it doesn’t feel quite right.
You’ll ask yourself how you should get yourself through the night.

It’s gonna rain.
It’s never gonna be the same.
There’s a new dawn after every night.
I’ll be here for you for as long as you want me to.
And the silver lining is I love you…

Listen, kid.
Learn how to lose friends.
Learn how to lose love.
Learn how to lose yourself
and learn how to love your life.
