Digital Ritual – As Paradise Falls

Digital Ritual – album overview

Digital Ritual is the debut full-length album by Australian metallers, As Paradise Falls. The album was produced by Shane Edwards (Northlane, Thy Art is Murder) at Karma Sound Studios in Thailand. The album art was created by ktbdesign.net. While recording ‘Digital Ritual’ in late 2015, the band’s guitarist Glen Barrie suddenly passed away.

“After everything that’s happened, releasing the album is a very emotional process,” states guitarist Danny Kenneally. “We’re stoked about finally sharing it with the world. At the same time we’re anxious about whether we’ve done everything we can to preserve Glen’s legacy.” About working with producer Shane Edwards, Danny continues, “We’re very thankful that Shane produced our album. He knows exactly how to push us to our limits as musicians, getting the best out of us. He has the unique ability to place an idea of ours in his hands, and from there it just flourishes into something brilliant.”

In February of 2017, the band released the first single from the album, entitled ‘Starblind’. A video for the song was premiered via Metal Hammer in the UK, and Triple J’s The Racket in Australia. In June of 2017, Australia’s HEAVY hosted the worldwide premiere of music video for the band’s second single entitled ‘Dead Message’.
