RITVS may be new in name, but their history starts earlier. Under the band name Vvlva, the band released a couple albums and a couple EPs of studiously vintage early hard rock / proto-metal. And the German quintet continue this backwards-looking path with the new moniker RITVS as a new old approach: exquisitely rustic late '70s sounds spanning hard rock, prog, AOR, and even late-days krautrock.
