Summary
It's 2005, and the first date of Vans Warped Tour.
Shane wasn’t sure how long Ritual Actions had been together, but based on the scraps of evidence he had sorted through online- bootlegged shows and rogue pieces of internet gossip, he thought that it was about the same time as his band, Nature of Emergencies.
They were elusive, and that only added to the intrigue. Their vocalist had moved to Boston not long before he'd joined the band, and in interviews his English was still stilted at times, but when he sang… it was almost harrowing, the raw feeling that lined the rough edges of his lyrics.
All of Ritual Actions promo photos imitated their presence online, shrouded in shadows in mystery, and all the videos of their shows were grainy and taken from far away. All of this meant that Shane still had no idea what any of them looked like, or even what their names were. All he could find online about their frontman was a last name. Rozanov. It sounded Eastern-European, maybe Russian, he thought.
