December 12, 2019 For Immediate Release Rituals of Mine Shares “HEAVYWEIGHT” Video ​ “SLEEPER HOLD” EP Out Now on Carpark Records [“HEAVYWEIGHT” video still] Rituals of Mine - the electronic recording project of Los Angeles-based songwriter Terra ​ ​ Lopez and percussionist Adam Pierce - shares a video for “HEAVYWEIGHT,” a track from its ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “SLEEPER HOLD” EP released earlier this year on Carpark Records. “Heavyweight” is ​ ​ ​ inspired by the after effects of grief and trauma in relation to the body and mind, particularly Lopez’s own surrounding her father’s suicide and the unexpected loss of her best friend. For the accompanying video, Lopez was approached by Pitch Her Productions, an organization ​ ​ that focuses on promoting womxn-identified filmmakers in the industry, who paired her with Ecuadorian artist/filmmaker Domenica Garcia. Nearly the entire cast and crew are ​ ​ womxn-identified and are womxn of color. “We wanted to create a video that depicts the weight that grief imposes on anyone that ​ experiences it; the ways in which we have to deconstruct, contort and carry grief with us in our day to day,” says Lopez. “At the start of the video you see three womxn holding their ​ ​ cumbersome grief and traumas, having to learn how to move in the world with it. As the video goes on, you see that same grief and trauma decrease in size as the womxn learn how to navigate their world with it. That was the theme we wanted to focus on: we will all have to experience grief at some point in our lives, unfortunately. So, how do we learn how to cope? Grief never leaves you entirely but if you do the work and learn to move through it, you can see beyond it one day. " ​ Lopez recently joined Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains for two shows alongside Greg ​ ​ ​ Puciato of Dillinger Escape Plan, Tyler Bates, Gil Sharone and more, to wrap up 2019. Next ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ year, Rituals of Mine will perform at Treefort Music Festival with more shows to be added ​ ​ soon.
