It may come as a surprise to many who follow the collective, but the Black Heart ritual would have been the first ritual if it had not been canceled the end of May. Same thing is true of their first appearance at the UK Tech Fest in July 2017.
The first true ritual came about on October 23 2017 at the O2 Academy Islington in support of Motorpsycho. It was a very small set that included Nazareth, When the Bough Breaks, Fields of Elation, Jericho, and Hey Ya. The setlist may have included others from the EPs released up to that point but there is no footage or record of those songs being performed.

It has come to this curator’s attention that the message that was recorded at the Heavy Metal Music Awards in 2021 was also mentioned to have been played at the Download Pilot festival earlier in June 2021.
At the time, it was speculated that it might be used as an intro track in the next album that was scheduled for release in September of 2021.
