The single encapsulates the band’s evolution and their deeper exploration into the thematic and sonic complexities of melodic death metal.

The single is available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. Armada North is also planning a series of live performances across Finland and Europe to bring "Rituals" and other tracks to life on stage.
