OF FIRE AND SORCERY

"...this is probably going to be one of the top five releases of the year. Actually, make that likely top one. Definitely one of the best of the decade. Get it?"

"I have absolutely no issue at all in deeming this an Album Of The Year candidate, Cultic have an incredible album on their hands here and one I cannot recommend enough for you to check out for yourself..."

"Of Fire and Sorcery could be the soundtrack for a sword-and-sorcery movie, naturally shifting moods from fantastical and otherworldly to grim and frostbitten."

"Of Fire and Sorcery is a celebration of the strange, shadowy corners of heavy metal that have managed to remain unpolished and abhorrent throughout the years."

"For a very specific type of metal nerd, a type I happen to belong to, this record is a really special and one-of-a-kind thing. Gloriously nerdy but also crushingly heavy, and one that is not to be missed."

“‘Of Fire and Sorcery’ channels its sinister motives by bringing its malefic synthesizer and raw, ruthless, somewhat gaseous notes to a dungeon that has never even caught a glimpse of the sun and consequently immerses us in a shamelessly foul world that the immoral part of you can’t help but like.”

""Of Fire and Sorcery" is a very successful work, capable of balancing the desire to explore new boundaries in the best possible way."

"It’s an understated journey that sucks the listener further and further down into the dark, fantastical world that Cultic inhabit. By adding a degree of unselfconscious bombast and naivety to a down and dirty metal formula, they imbue it with a sense of theatre and high drama that bolsters the experience into something entirely novel."

"In a nutshell! This is a kill love it!"

"This album will scare you shitless with the lights out."

"It’s a dismal, primitive, and increasingly frightening experience, an infliction of caustic doom that suffocates hope but will also elevate your pulse rate ..."

“The overarching feeling is of something primitive, menacing and mystical. Well worth investigating if you yearn for the eldritch days of doomy death metal…”

"... imagine more recent Darkthrone rotating too slowly on your turntable and repeatedly interrupted by a 70s alien/space B-Movie brand soundtrack that sometimes blurs into something new. All kind of quirky, but with a lot of charm and soul. 'Of Fire and Sorcery' makes sense ..." "You just have to try it to understand what I mean."
