Blackened doomsmiths, CULTED, drop new track “Illuminati” upon the holiday-addled masses. A menacingly haunting composition, the tune comes by way of the bands Oblique To All Paths long player, slated for release via Relapse Records early next year. Their second full-length album and first release in more than four years, Oblique To All Paths is a evocatively grim piece of sprawling doom metal and the perfect soundtrack to a cold, isolated winter.
Elaborates Michael Klassen (guitar/bass/percussion/noise) of the record: Oblique to All Paths is the culmination of CULTEDs collective experience over the past five years. As artists and musicians, were acting as interpreters of our environment, if you will. Weve all been subjected to mythmakers and storytellers, shamans and charlatans in life. Illuminati strives to skeptically dissect these deceptive belief systems and explore them using sound.
