There are gigs, and then there are live performances. The difference is that one goes through the motions, and the other is a statement and a captivating spectacle. Dublin-based threesome, RITUAL EFFECT are the latter in that statement. Having formed in late 2017, surviving through many incarnations and line-up changes, the Dublin-based three-piece have dragged the once infamous grunge genre into a new realm, thanks to their crushing live presence, and modest back catalogue.

Not conforming to one particular sound, RITUAL EFFECT draw influence from the ‘90s alternative sounds and inject a powerful and furiously original contemporary edge to their song-writing. Add in the ability to turn a venue upside down with gripping live shows, and you’re close to understanding the intense creative fire that exists inside the collective mindset when writing, recording and performing together.

The band’s name is testament to their dedication and commitment to giving their all, both on record, and when performing.

“We believe in what we do and even when things got tough, even when the obstacles have seemed insurmountable, we’ve kept going. It’s why we’re called Ritual Effect – we’re what comes out the other side of all the hard work. It’s why we chose our logo – the alchemy symbol for “precipitate” – “a product resulting from a process, event, or a course of action”. It’s why we’ve nailed our colours to the mast with our most recent EP – “Too Late To Turn Back” (2022) – we haven’t come this far to only come this far”, says bassist Christopher Goggins.

Previous releases ‘Blindside’ and ‘Withdrawn’ surpassed all expectations for the band with their best airplay results to date, picking up on radio playlists from the likes of Total Rock, Hard Rock Hell and Rock Rage Radio, as well as receiving fantastic feedback on BSBTV!

The single ‘Resolution’ will be released 27/6/25
at 00:00 GMT across all streaming platforms.

“The song is a very personal one. It’s about a time where someone took something from me while I was in a very vulnerable state.  Looking back on the events, it’s still difficult for me to process that there are people in this world who will plant themselves into your circle of friends with the sole purpose of taking advantage when the opportunity appears. It’s a reminder to be careful out there but also a thank you to everyone who stepped in at the time and a reminder that you can face your fears and bounce back stronger with some courage, determination and help from your friends.” – Ritual Effect
