Black Cult hails from Croatia, a country that I don't often regard as a blackened cesspool of evil activities. Yet, these guys certainly pull it off, which should not really be a surprise. The bandmembers have been roaming in the Croatian underground for years before starting this band in 2013.. What we get on this album is more than a decent version of old school Scandinavian thrash metal induced musical extremism, highlighting in songs like 'DCLXVI' or 'Neo-Satanist'. The whole sounds well-written, intense and varied enough to remain interesting,.
Don't expect anything renewing or highly original from Black Cult but also don't miss out on this one. It's simply an excellent black metal album in perfect old school tradition which fans of the genre shouldn't ignore. So check it out if you have the guts, you won't be disappointed...
