BLACK CULT is a black metal band formed in late 2013 by two of the most prominent individuals from the Croatian black metal scene Insanus (Castrum, Unholy Inquisition, Gorthaur’s Wrath, Czaar, Ashes You Leave and many more) and Morbid (Gorthaur’s Wrath, Mysterium). The goal was to create the ultimate black metal sound for the new aeon.

After the first album “Neo-Satanism” was recorded and listened by a few individuals there was no problem to compile a complete lineup and BLACK CULT become a bend. In early 2014, a full line up was formed by adding three other names from the scene. Azaghal (Unholy Inquisition, Gorthaur’s Wrath, Hibernum), Lesovik(Gorthaur’s Wrath, Nekrist, Voloch and Kult Perunov) and Saathaen (Ashes you leave, Heathen Mysticism).

After two years of promoting “Neo-Satanism”, the band has retreated to their dungeons to record a new album under the name “Cathedral of the Black Cult”. Album was released by the Ukrainian label “Another Side Records” on July 2016. On this album renown guitar master, Alen Brentini aka “The Fallen” was featured as a guest member. Together with the dedicated rhythm section consisting of Lesovik and Azagal they form this uncompromising black metal super-group.

In the days following the release of the second album Juko becomes a full member of the band as lead guitarist. Band promoted new material on few concerts and festivals, last concert band has played was on “Oluja fest” in Zagreb on 21. October 2017.

At the end of 2018. Insanus is moving to the UK where he started to work on the third album. With the help of Morbid on vocals and Lesovik on bass guitar, album was finished in June 2019 and entitled “Nekropola”.

Musically, they could be described as the heaviest version of the modern black metal sound combined with the spirit of the old school.

Black Cultists are creating a new dimension of the Devil’s music for Satan’s worshipers.
