Grief Ritual Release Debut Album ‘Collapsed’ + New Video for ‘Consumed’

Carl Fisher 1 min read

On their debut album ‘Collapse’, the anger, frustration, and disenfranchisement Grief Ritual feel about the UK and the wider world are laid bare. It was released on January 31st, 2025, via Church Road Records. To celebrate the release, Grief Ritual have also released the video for the track, ‘Consumed’.

Says the band:

Consumed, and the album Collapse, is about how capitalism is killing us. It’s about the links from that to fascism, populism, colonialism, and imperialism, and the bigotry, racism, and patriarchal subjugation these bring.

We are bombarded by continual streams of information, ragebait news, inane products, snake oil sales, people masquerading influencers, and hideous political figures. We are overworked and underpaid to the point of burn out, and then expected to take on more and more. People know more about vapid celebrities than they do about their own rights, their history, the background and backers of their politicians and political leaders. It has been normalised. We have been turned from individuals within communities to selfish consumers, feeding the very thing that is destroying us. We are being choked and swallowed by the snake of capitalism, and the alt right, and fascism it brings.
