CULT MEMBER (NO)
The north has its very own qualities in so many different ways. A beautiful vastness in all its encompassing nature. Warm people in a cold climate. Their darkness is real, half of the year at least. But it has to be something in the water too. Northern Norway, and Tromsø in particular, keeps fishing and pushing forward outstanding bands from what seems to be an unlimited sea of talent.
Cult Member are the leaders of this pool, and find themselves in the absolute forefront of the ongoing hardcore attack from up north. They have a live presence as demolishing as their mountains, and they somehow manage to spark their recordings with the same fire. «Infinite Death» from last year was a definite favorite. It´s a sick album, delivered with cheery authority, icy chugs and razor sharp musicianship. It makes you angry, but in the most positive way!
We can not wait for their onslaught at Høstsabbat 2023.
