The UK artist showcases a harrowing and darker new side to his sound.
On his latest single ‘Rituals’, rising UK artist Bite The Boxer continues to experiment with and expand upon his atmospheric and thoughtful sound, making for a release steeped in darkness that boasts an exciting, haunting aura and cutting edge that feels as riveting as it does unsettling.
The influence of industrial and dark wave artists like Trent Reznor is all over the track, but Bite The Boxer’s distinctive tone and slow-burning, immersive appeal makes for a sound that has an almost horror element to it, with a shadowy, drawn out structure that builds suspense and tension with a deftness and precision. From the artist’s immersive, haunting vocal performance to the harrowing female vocals that float uneasily in the background throughout, the track is a masterclass in creating an aura and sense of unease, showcasing the depth and power of the new direction that the artist is pushing himself into, showcasing his versatility and talent along the way.
