Based in the Texan city of San Antonio, darkwave\/synth-punk artist Night Ritualz<\/strong> (aka Vincent Guerrero IV) weaves Latin influences into his songs, often blending English and Spanish lyrics with music that combines atmospheric soundscapes suffused with pulse-pounding beats to tell stories that are deeply personal and universally relatable.

His new single, \u2018Whoreish\u2019, is a mixture of hard industrial and EBM sounds, packing a punch suitable for either dancing to or starting a mosh pit. Loud and aggressive yet fun, it provides a neat contrast to its predecessor, \u2018Brown Sugar\u2019 (released in October 2025), an unapologetic expression of identity, struggle and survival that blended personal storytelling with social commentary.

Both songs are included on the upcoming second album by Night Ritualz, \u2018Time Is A Thief\u2019, which is scheduled for release in late February 2026 on Metropolis Records.

Night Ritualz initially drew inspiration from artists such as Depeche Mode, Deftones and At The Drive-In, blurring the lines between darkwave, electronic, EBM and post-punk to create a genre he terms \u2018fuck wave\u2019. March 2025 saw the release of a well received self-titled debut album STREAM<\/a> that can also be purchased on vinyl, CD and digitally HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWeaves his Mexican heritage into this deeply personal journey that is heavenly and haunting\u201d<\/em><\/strong>

\u201cEncapsulates much of the best of modern electro-infused post-punk\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
ANALOGUE TRASH<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cA cohesive journey through desire, regret, and nocturnal reveries, it conjures an entire atmosphere where every beat, every breath, and every synth wave pulses with life\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
