Rarely does an extreme metal band drop out of nowhere with a fully formed sound, and yet CULT BURIAL do just that. While their name may imply another group hopping on the dime-a-dozen OSDM revival trend, this London group quickly show that there is a lot more than meets the eye on their self-titled début, coming hot off the back of a well-received two-track EP.

The smooth sepulchral blend flits across the spectrum; while ostensibly a modern black/death metal outfit, CULT BURIAL have no qualms about incorporating the crushing low-end of doom metal and post-metal. Other individual tracks branch out even further from the formula – lead single ‘Moribund’ draws from old school death metal’s HM2-drenched tremolo, while ‘Plague’ and ‘Chaos’ stretch into progressive territory and showcase a real strength in dynamic songwriting – not a moment is wasted.

Aside from the songwriting, the execution of each track is magnificent. Simon Langofrd’s composition pairs effortlessly with César Moreira’s varied vocal delivery – potent growls and twisted snarls collide with the daring range of styles employed, from the hefty groove in opener ‘Dethroner’ reminiscent of Belphegor to the full black/death/doom amalgamation that rounds out ‘Sorrow’. The lyrics, which eschew the expected Satan-worshipping traits, instead turn inward and speak on topics related to death and a sense of purpose (or a lack thereof) in captivating detail.

Despite having only two tracks to their name prior to this release, CULT BURIAL have already begun to build a name for themselves – No Clean Singing pegged ‘Sorrow’ as “further proof that CULT BURIAL is a band to watch closely”, and it won’t be long before this album starts turning heads and causing a stir.
