San Antonio\u2019s own Night Ritualz (aka Vincent Guerrero IV) returns with his second full-length album, \u2018Time Is A Thief,\u2019 a dark, electrifying journey through synth-heavy introspection, cinematic beats, and raw emotional pulse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built around brooding synths and mournful melodies, the album balances visceral intensity with vulnerability, fusing darkwave, EBM, and post-punk into something that\u2019s simultaneously hypnotic and urgent. Guerrero weaves English and Spanish lyrics throughout, adding an extra layer of texture and depth to his already immersive sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album comes on the heels of three standout singles. Most recently, Un Tiro<\/em><\/strong> (One Shot) drops with an early \u201980s indie-pop twist, contrasting sharply with the industrial-powered Whoreish<\/em><\/strong> [STREAM<\/a>]. The lead single, Brown Skin<\/em><\/strong> [STREAM<\/a>], is a powerful blend of personal storytelling and social commentary, exploring identity, survival, and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
