Pestis Cultus by Pestis Cultus

Pestis Cultus is the audial manifestation from Perth, Australia, whose works have already been deeply carved in the worldwide underground black metal scene across various other projects. However, now Pestis Cultus, the trio hold firm to the hideousness recordings that rottenness to an exquisitely foul degree.

Indeed, the sound of Pestis Cultus is like that of a moss-covered gravestone exploding - in violent fast-forward and tortured slow-motion simultaneously. Proudly raw in their exploits but by no means unrehearsed - quite the opposite, in fact - Pestis Cultus exhume ancient expressions of black metal and proceed to profane them in their own style and with their own voice. That voice & style could blithely be summarized as "putrid-satanic-necro-terrorizing-black (death) metal," proudly from Australia and in its purest form, but lurk within the 31 minutes comprising their first full-length and one will find catacombs and corridors bursting with rancid, rebel spirit: the past only exists not to be tethered to, but to defile and exploit at will. In short, Pestis Cultus is paradoxically uncompromising and open-minded, fuck-off traditional and FUCK-YOU unorthodox.

Rounded out by a booming 'n' ghostly recording sharpened by Henri (Moonsorrow) Sorvali's mastering, layout by Heresie Graphic Design Studio, and intro & outro by the one and only Mortiis, Pestis Cultus' self-titled debut album is a stunner highly recommended for old souls and restless ones alike.
