CULTIC "High Command"


CULTIC Through the process of producing their debut album "High Command," Cultic forged their own brand of fantasy-based, battle-death/doom/punk-metal crossover. "High Command" is a conceptual album telling an archetypal story of rival powers – strength, will and dominance are recurring themes throughout.

Cultic blazes a path through the battlefield by combining ideas and aesthetics of early death/doom, first wave black metal, and punk. Down tuned guitars and war drums deliver a mid-placed battery propelled by sardonic wrath and ungoverned fury. High Command is the auditory equivalent of a war hammer. It’s straightforward, lumbering, and crude. This is music for modern barbarians, urban wizards and street metal warriors. Ride to war!!!!
