Horns up to Rob Hammer for blasting the full Lore album on his YouTube channel!
Rob’s been a longtime supporter of underground metal, and we’re stoked to see Lore among the heavy offerings. If you haven’t taken the full journey through the record yet, now’s the perfect time to do it: front to back, no skips, just raw Dungeon Metal energy.
We had the absolute honor of speaking with Metal Hammer Italy about Lore, the concept behind our Dungeon Metal world, and what it means to build a sound that lives between myth, madness, and metal.
Shoutout to Metal Digest for giving Lore a spin and shining a light into the depths of our dungeon!
Big thanks to Do The FKN Review for diving headfirst into the madness of Lore. This review absolutely rips, calling Lore “our heaviest and most deranged record to date” and praising it for booting “the fkn door down and drag[ging] you straight into the dungeon.”
Big shoutout to 666MrDoom for sharing the full album stream of Lore on YouTube!
If you’ve been waiting to hear the record from start to finish, now’s the time. Throw on your headphones, crank the volume, and take the full ride through the Cultic world … all 52:52:52 of it.
The torches are lit…
Our third full-length album, Lore, is out now!
Lore is a journey we’ve been forging deep in the dungeon for years. It’s a collision of fantasy and dread, war drums and screams, synths and steel. It’s 18 tracks of raw dungeon metal chaos, built around sinister characters and unrelenting atmosphere. From tracks like “Tyrant’s Horde” and “Executioner’s Tale” to synth-laden interludes like “Imperial Procession,” Lore unfolds as a single immersive experience – an arc through madness, power, and ruin.
Lore just got a nod in Metal Injection’s latest Weekly Injection roundup of new releases!
We’re proud to be listed alongside some crushing names in metal. Thanks to the Metal Injection crew for shouting out the dungeon metal chaos we’ve been cooking.
Shoutout to The Razor’s Edge for diving deep into Lore in their latest review. Sam Jones captured the core of what we set out to do with this record: channeling weight, tension, and storytelling into a journey that drags you through the mire!
We’re grateful to Frozen Moon Promotions for giving Lore a spotlight in their Upcoming Metal segment.
They awarded the album a 5 / 5 score and had this to say:
“A heavy, pounding and truly atmospheric record that captures the darkest D&D campaign the band could muster.” –Frozen Moon Promotions
Hell yeah! We just got a write-up in the latest issue of Scream Magazine:
“This Pennsylvania-based trio forges their own path in dungeon metal – primitive, raw, and ugly in the best possible way. Like a lost demo from the early ’90s, Lore captures that DIY spirit with unapologetic grit and originality. Cultic embrace the naivety and turn it into a sound that’s uniquely theirs.” – Scream Magazine
