AlphaSix Drop New Single and Horror Video "The Ritual" (ft. Howie Straws)

The Boston-based Lovecraftian sci-fi horror metal trio AlphaSix have dropped a new single "The Ritual" (ft. Howie Straws).

"The Ritual" is the climactic fifth chapter in Boston-based Lovecraftian sci-fi horror metal trio AlphaSix's ongoing "Assimilate: Oceans" saga.

In this pivotal installment witness the convergence of AlphaSix's followers as they perform a harrowing ceremony on a windswept shoreline, tearing open the barrier between dimensions.

Featuring guest vocalist Ryan "Howie Straws" Howard, this blistering track pushes sonic boundaries with lightning-fast tempos, experimental guitar work, and otherworldly vocal techniques that blur the line between human and other. The visually stunning music video follows the secretive cult's ancient rites, building toward a terrifying confrontation as forces beyond human understanding begin to emerge.

Assimilate: Oceans continues with new chapters premiering on the last Friday of each month throughout 2025.
