The Ritual

by Adam Nevill

“Autumn Leaves” leans into The Ritual’s Scandinavian wilderness dread with warm, rain-softened acoustics and gradually intensifying tension. The mix of stark instrumental eeriness and grounded, human vocals mirrors Luke’s isolation, the group’s fraying trust, and the story’s slow drift from camaraderie into survival horror.
