Over the last two decades he continued to write and release music, satisfied that he had achieved what he set out to do with WARNING. In those intervening years, interest in WARNING swelled, organically gathering an ardent fanbase. In particular, the 2006 album, Watching from a Distance, has gained a cult following.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn response to a transformative period in his life, Walker turned towards writing new songs, and it soon became apparent that these belonged to WARNING. In early January 2025, he started with a completely blank canvas, and piece by piece, he started to fill it with ideas that evolved to become the songs that make up Rituals of Shame. His immersion in the project became a full-time pursuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e After successfully demoing the five songs, Walker retreated to a remote house on a hill outside Florence, Italy, to refine the lyrics. Recording took place at The Arch Studio, a 140-year-old former church in Southport, UK. Chris Fullard (Idles, Sunn O))), Ulver) handled the recording and mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWalker's lifelong musical inspirations can be traced through Rituals of Shame. The ambitious structural arrangements harken to Marillion’s complex but soaring episodic songs. They retain a sparsity that is reminiscent of June Tabor’s economic arrangements; thick with melody but with a diaphanous air to them. Citing John Brenner of Revelation as an enduring inspiration, Patrick credits him with introducing the idea of how to infuse heavy music with significant emotional depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eOften reluctant to discuss the minutiae of his lyrics, Walker does acknowledge that making this album was a direct response to the immediate concerns of his current life period. Rituals of Shame also echoes the enduring themes and fixations that have marked most of his work: guilt, shame, personal failure, obsession, longing, and separation, but, most of all, he says, love.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWarning's 'Rituals Of Shame' is a powerful metal release, presented in a stunning custom half and half with splatter vinyl. This indie exclusive edition showcases the band's unique sound and intense energy, making it a must-have for collectors and fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eIndie exclusive vinyl edition\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eCustom half and half with splatter design\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eReleased under Relapse Records\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eGenre: Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eTrack List\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctable aria-label=\"Track Listing\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e1\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd aria-label=\"Disc 1 Track 1 Rituals of Shame\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eRituals of Shame\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e2\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd aria-label=\"Disc 1 Track 2 Stations\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStations\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e3\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd aria-label=\"Disc 1 Track 3 Night Comes Down\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eNight Comes Down\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e4\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd aria-label=\"Disc 1 Track 4 Landing Lights\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eLanding Lights\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e5\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd aria-label=\"Disc 1 Track 5 Teacher\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eTeacher\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eFormat Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eLabel: Relapse Records\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eGenre: Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2026-06-19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Warning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50746010796278,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/3716\/3949\/files\/warning-rituals-of-shame-indie-exclusive-custom-half-and-half-with-splatter-vinyl_4SS3n.jpg?v=1780436876","url":"https:\/\/rockthistownrecords.com\/products\/warning-rituals-of-shame-indie-exclusive-custom-half-and-half-with-splatter-vinyl","provider":"Rock This Town Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
