It’s Gonna Be Good Again

White Ritual is featured on Extize’s new concept album I Love an Alien, out physically on 25 September 2026 via darkTunes Music Group. The collaboration lands on track 10: It’s Gonna Be Good Again (feat. White Ritual).

I Love an Alien is a 15-track concept album. Per DarkMerch / darkTunes, it is Extize’s most personal and conceptual work to date — a chronological story of a relationship, from first contact through doubt, trust and evolution, set in a retrofuturistic parallel world where a man falls in love with an alien. The alien figure stands for the unknown in the other person. Musically, the record blends goth, darkwave and post-punk with Extize’s modern electro-industrial sound: cold melodic passages against driving beats and club energy. Vocals move between clean, fragile tones and deeper growls — mirroring the emotional arc of the narrative.
