The war horns have sounded! The gates are open! Our third full-length album, LORE, is now available for pre-order via Eleventh Key Records and digitally on Bandcamp.

Lore is Cultic at our most raw and unrelenting: 18 tracks of churning riffs, haunted synths, and warpath rhythms bound together in one massive 52:52:52-minute journey through a fractured world of power, madness, and myth. It’s a record forged in fire, sharpened by fantasy, and built on the bones of early death-doom, black metal, and punk grit.

The album unfolds in three acts:

• ENCOUNTERS – strange visions and ominous arrivals.
• CONQUEST – brutal campaigns and the rise of tyrants.
• WITHIN THE KEEP – a final descent into the seat of power and torment.

This time around, we trimmed the fat. Shorter songs. No filler. Every moment matters. From punishing anthems like “Tyrant’s Horde” and “Executioner’s Tale” to grim interludes like “Mirror Punishment” and “Breaking Wheel”, this record is both relentless and immersive.

We’re honored to feature guest vocals from Reese Harlacker, Rachel Robison (The Turning Hand), and Jason Robison (Wrath of Typhon)—your voices brought new depth and character to this record, and we’re incredibly grateful for your contributions.

And behind the scenes, a massive thank-you to those who helped build this world:

• Tracy Conway – for capturing killer footage with intensity and vision.
• Rock Mill Industries – for hosting our live shoot.
• Nate Tyson (SpellBook) – for portraying the Nomad with raw power!
• The Tyson family – for opening their property to us and supporting the madness.
• Brandy – for bringing Nate’s look to life with costuming and makeup wizardry.

This album has been a long time coming, and we couldn’t have shaped it without your hands on the hammer. Whether you’ve walked with us since High Command or just entered the keep, this release is for you.
