Ritualz (Mexico City)

https://ritualz.bandcamp.com/

JC Lobo, known professionally as Ritualz, and recognised by the logo †‡†, is a musician based in Mexico City. His work as Ritualz is, essentially, a dark electronic music project associated with the witch house music genre and has since incorporated a darkwave and industrial-inspired sound. Ritualz's latest album, Häxan was released in 2020. Ritualz began producing music in the late 2000s, and takes direct inspiration from Marilyn Manson in creating his ephemeral and dark soundscapes. Currently he manages an independent record label called "Maligna".
