Ethereal vocals. Harsh growls. Sharp synths, guitars, and cinematic atmospheres.
White Ritual is a darkwave and electro‑industrial band from Strasbourg, France. Signed to darkTunes Music Group, the project forges ritualistic sound and striking visuals that blur the line between gothic melancholy and club‑ready electronic power. Their debut album In & Out (2022) introduced fan favorites “Blind,” “Rush,” and “Head On Fire.” In 2025, White Ritual returned with In & Out Remixes and the standalone single “Crosses,” expanding their footprint across dark alternative scenes in Europe and beyond.
For fans of Carpenter Brut, darksynth aesthetics, and neon‑noir worlds à la Blade Runner 2077.

Who is White Ritual?
White Ritual is a France‑based dark electronic act that merges ethereal female vocals with aggressive growls, glacial synths, searing guitars, and cinematic sound design. The result is a high‑contrast signature: luminous melodies cut against pounding, dance‑floor‑driven rhythms. Beyond the music, White Ritual curates an immersive visual language—ritualistic motifs, monochrome silhouettes, and splashes of neon—that turns every stage into a liturgy of noise and light.
- Origin: Strasbourg, France
- Label: darkTunes Music Group
- Styles: Darkwave, Electro‑Industrial, Gothic, DarkSynth
- RIYL: Carpenter Brut, Boy Harsher, HEALTH (industrial edges), VNV Nation (anthemic electronics)
Sound & Influences
White Ritual’s production balances crushing low‑end with shimmering pads, distorted leads, and percussive textures. Expect:
- Darkwave hooks that linger long after the chorus.
- Electro‑industrial weight for clubs and festivals.
- Darksynth flair—retro‑futurist arps, cinematic drones, and high‑octane drops.
- Guitar surges that add visceral edge to the electronic core.
The band draws on dystopian cinema, occult symbolism, and urban nightscapes—music for late‑hour drives under sodium lights.
New Releases
In & Out Remixes (2025)
A reimagined journey through the In & Out era, the 2025 remix collection refracts White Ritual’s material through the lens of the darkwave and industrial community—built for dance floors without losing the band’s cinematic heartbeat.
Highlights:
- Club‑forward reinterpretations that amplify bass and percussion.
- Textural experiments that spotlight the contrast between angelic chorals and feral growls.
- Sequenced for flow: an after‑hours arc from brooding to explosive.

“Crosses” (2025)
A standalone darksynth single with a Carpenter Brut‑style adrenaline rush—glitching arps, punishing kicks, and a neon‑soaked chorus aimed squarely at fans of Blade Runner 2077’s synth‑heavy universe. “Crosses” sharpens the White Ritual palette: faster BPM, harsher transitions, and a cathartic, shouted refrain.

Lyrics & Themes
White Ritual straddles the boundary between the sacred and the synthetic: confessionals about desire, memory, and self‑doubt collide with dystopian imagery—cathedrals of chrome, neon crucifixes, and ritual fires. The dual vocal approach—seraphic lead + demonic counterpoint—embodies this conflict in real time.
Live: The Ritual Experience
On stage, White Ritual transforms venues into immersive rites: synchronized strobes, custom visuals, and transitions designed like a film edit. Sets pivot from slow‑burn entrancement to industrial catharsis, inviting the crowd into the ceremony.
