Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Cult' expands the Finnish ensemble's repertoire beyond their earlier tribute work by introducing predominantly original compositions. The quartet utilizes a cello-driven arrangement to emulate the aggressive timbres and structural complexities typical of heavy metal music. This approach solidifies their reputation as pioneers in bridging classical string orchestration with contemporary rock energy.
