Night Ritualz releases synthwave cover of ‘Piensa En Mí’ via Metropolis Records
Night Ritualz
Darkwave and synth punk artist Night Ritualz has released a new single entitled “Piensa En Mí” via Metropolis Records. The track is available on digital platforms and is accompanied by an official music video.
Based in San Antonio, Texas, Night Ritualz is the project of Vincent Guerrero IV, who integrates bilingual lyrics and Latin cultural references into a soundscape blending darkwave, EBM, synthpunk, and post-punk influences. His cover of “Piensa En Mí” reinterprets the 1935 classic originally written by Agustín Lara and María Teresa Lara. The song was first popularised through its use in the 1948 film “Revancha”, and later gained renewed prominence when performed by Luz Casal in Pedro Almodóvar’s 1991 film “High Heels” (“Tacones Lejanos”).
Night Ritualz’s version transforms the nostalgic ballad into a contemporary synthwave composition. It follows the March 2025 release of his self-titled debut album “Night Ritualz”, which compiled earlier singles and new material.
About Night Ritualz
Night Ritualz was founded by Vincent Guerrero IV in San Antonio, Texas. Initially influenced by artists such as Depeche Mode, Deftones, and At The Drive-In, Guerrero developed a hybrid sound he terms ‘fuck wave- a blend of darkwave, EBM, post-punk, and synthpunk.
Early singles led to the release of a self-titled debut album in March 2025, featuring both older and new tracks.
Guerrero’s lyrics shift fluidly between English and Spanish, expressing personal themes rooted in his Mexican heritage.
