BIOGRAPHY

​

Cult Burial is a blackened death-doom studio project hailing from London. Having formed in early 2020 the project rapidly developed, with the collective starting from scratch and finishing an EP and an album within four months. The result is a punishingly heavy record that seeks to draw some of the darkest elements from the textures and atmospheres of less heavy music. This desire for crushing sounds has driven Cult Burial to the next demented level, setting them distinctly apart from many of their contemporaries.

The project formed when mastermind Simon accidentally acquired a baritone guitar after a heavy night of drinking.  Within days he fell in love with the incredibly heavy sounds of the instrument and found some collaborators to work with.  Quickly they pieced together a debut EP entitle Sorrow, whose title track premiered on No Clean Singing. Their EP featured in Metal Hammer Portugal and Cvlt Nation among others. With this acclaim in tow, the band rapidly set about writing what would be their debut album. The sound that had made heads turn early on was finally starting to crystallize.

Even as Cult Burial prepare to unleash their first LP upon the world, the band is grinding away, working on a second record. Perpetually inspired by the tormented magic of the baritone guitar and with the darkest of textures in mind, Cult Burial seeks to continue to plumb the depths of the human experience. This project is the sort of DIY experience that fuels the underground. It is ambitious, powerful and one of a kind. Now, Cult Burial are wallowing in the murk, conjuring new madness and waiting for their next chance to strike.
