Dark Ritual

Why it sounds this way

Dark Ritual is a dark chord progression that moves ii – ♭VII – i° – IV (Dm B♭ Cdim F in C). The feeling walks wander → rebel → eerie → open. Most of these are plain triads, so the colors feel direct and the outline stays clear. That matches a small tip for this mood: flat chords pull the floor away. That is why it fits a scene like “candles, cloaks, a ritual.” Play it on piano or guitar above, and switch keys if you want it higher or lower.
