Hey Everyone! I'm happy to announce RICTOR, an Americanized alternate of the term Richter, used to measure earthquakes. A play of words on the concepts of "underground" and "groundbreaking." Heavily influenced by alternative culture form the 2000s-2010s such as the Nü-metal, Hip Hop, Industrial an Cybergoth scenes, this album is an ode and a solemn tribute to the riff raff, the rabble, and the unwashed masses; to those brash unrefined populations of who are deemed toxic, destructive and dangerous and are treated as if they need to be contained, repressed, or hidden away from high society lest they offend the delicate sensibilities of their unproblematic betters. This is a feeling I can definitely relate to, being both a rough rugged metalhead, and a conventionally masculine average joe gay guy! Ride, Stay Fly is inspired by that amazing feeling right before a metal concert, you're bathed, groomed, loaded and you have your best scariest band t-shirt on. You're excited for the show soon and you know all your friends will be there with you. You're all riding the wave of good vibes and high classed in your own unique way and feeling amazing with yourself and your peers prepared for a night of letting go with the music. more
