Description
Hailing from Calgary, Canada, Cultist are purveyors of ugly, disturbing death metal, taking graveyard dirt and headbanging rhythms and infusing them with the essence of warped, interstellar madness and a dusting of ancient rites and forgotten spells. Mystification zine praised their 2022 debut album, Manic Despair, for its ‘righteous, punishing aggression’ and ‘brutally thrashed death metal cruelty’, looking forward to what the future might bring for this band who balanced that instinctive hook-laden heaviness with dizzying, otherworldly aesthetics so adeptly. Well the future is now and the time for conjecture is over…Cultist are back, with their new album – Spiritual Atrophy!
