Press

"There's a true art to creating music that's sonically aggressive, very violent whilst still maintaining core elements of making music appealing. Absolutely incredible. D.C.E are as aggressive as they are catchy."

Alex Baker, Kerrang! Radio

"Exists to serve no other purpose than to ignite utter chaos wherever it goes."

Jack Saunders, BBC Radio 1

"From Cardiff, obsessed with this, this is Death Cult Electric."

Huw Stephens, BBC 6 Music

"Death Cult Electric, the Welsh supergroup."

John Kennedy, Radio X

"Dystopian noise rock n roll 4-piece unleash new sonic chaos with visuals inspired by David Lynch."

Gigslutz

"Death Cult Electric keep providing crazy air thumping bangers."

Louder Than War

"An overwhelming experience intense enough to cause a counter culture aneurysm."

"There's something that heavy music never gets praised for and it really should, there's a true art to creating music that's sonically aggressive, very violent whilst still maintaining core elements of making music appealing, it's a hard thing to master! These guys do it like it's not even a thing! Absolutely incredible. D.C.E are as aggressive as they are catchy." - Alex Baker, Kerrang! Radio

The album

Bio

U.K alternative noise quartet Death Cult Electric return with Cult Classic, a 15-track debut double album of hyper-distorted post-punk, sarcastic alternative rock and industrial-edged chaos, released via Black Maraca Records with distribution by Symphonic Distribution.

With 15 tracks split across two volumes, mastered to a loudness measurement of 6.66 LUFS, the record is a Violent colourful milkshake, sarcastic humour with schizophrenic vocals are screamed over Fuzz Guitars which begs the glorious question: how much more fuzz could this be? And the Answer is None.....None more Fuzz.

"It's like if Nick Cave, Mark E Smith, Andy Falkous, and Guy McKnight became one channeling Big Black and holding Queens of the Stone Age by the throat. This is some sci-fi, apocalyptic, Evil Dead, Tim Burton nightmare fuel type sh*t and it rages so hard."

After a hiatus from their initial conception, Death Cult Electric are back with their debut album and currently touring. The noise is starting to register: nearly 100,000 Spotify streams and counting. Cult Classic was recorded by frontman Steffan Pringle, a producer with 100 million streams to his name across the alternative rock world, with Richard Wright, Alec Rees & Christopher Hampson completing the lineup.

Death Cult Electric were tasked with inventing their own brand of hyper-distorted alternative rock, showcasing what modern rock music could and should be. Cult Classic is hallucinogenic chaos articulated in sound: hyper-distorted post-punk, sarcastic alternative rock and industrial-edged chaos.

With 15 tracks split across two volumes, mastered to a loudness measurement of 6.66 LUFS, the record is a Violent colourful milkshake, sarcastic humour with schizophrenic vocals are screamed over Fuzz Guitars which begs the glorious question: how much more fuzz could this be? And the Answer is None.....None more Fuzz.
