Beatdown hardcore. Christian heavy. Lyrical gravity that cuts to the bone. New album Saint arrives summer 2026.
The sophomore full length from Cultist arrives this summer on Facedown Records. Heavy melodic metalcore. Spiritually charged. Two singles already out, more before release day.
The forsaken cry out to god, met with disdain, torn apart by a den of snakes.
The name is the provocation. Cultist points at the religious systems that prey on the forsaken. The dens of snakes who answer cries with disdain. The vicious wolves dressed for Sunday.
It is on the merch. It is in the song titles. Preacher III. Vicious Wolves. War With God. Den Of Snakes. Heavy music as exposure work. The harmless ones get named.
That is the gravity in the riffs. Christian heavy with a target.
Cultist is a Christian heavy band from Southern California. The framework is unquestionably west coast beatdown hardcore with east coast weight underneath it.
Formed in 2017 by Jim B., the lineup grew into the sound it carries now. Deathcore threads pulled tight against dark metalcore. The raw heaviness fans expect from the Facedown family. They have shared stages with Bleeding Through, Lionheart, Traitors, and many more.
They joined Facedown in 2022 and released their debut full length, Slow Suicide, on July 21, 2023. The follow up, Saint, arrives summer 2026.
✱ May 10 in Bradenton FL is a Cultist headline date. Not part of the Demon Hunter run.
