Biography

Although they’ve been together for about two years, the four members of Culted have never actually been in the same room:
Michael Klassen (guitar/bass/percussion/noise),
Matthew Friesen (guitar/bass/percussion/noise),
& Kevin Stevenson (drums)
all grew up in a small town in the middle of the Canadian prairies.
While Daniel Jansson (vocals/ambience) makes his home in Gothenburg, Sweden.

After hearing Jansson’s Deadwood project, Klassen contacted him through his MySpace page to see if he’d be interested in collaborating on his and Friesen’s other band, Of Human Bondage. While emailing back and forth, the guys discovered they had mutual interests in groups like Khanate, Sunn O))) and Electric Wizard and Jansson suggested they put together a whole new project of slow, blackened metal.

Because Friesen and Klassen work out of a home studio in Winnipeg, Manitoba, they were able to write and record the guitar/bass/drum files and send them to Jansson. “I remember when I heard the first riffs I thought, fucking awesome! I really wanted to get back into metal again after only doing Industrial music for about two years, and the initial guitar tracks just blew me away. I really heard a will to experiment and create some really dark oppressive tunes,” Jansson said.

    cool shit although I have to wonder why they bothered hiring a vocalist? They're fierce but these distorted rasps could be done by near anyone, seems weird that they'd hire someone from sweden, even.

    Creamy high-pitch jangle sound toward the end of Heel On Your Neck is masturbatory.

    This band is so fvcking evil! Easily, one of my new favorite bands in this particular genre.

    I'm grateful for the moody ambiance seething in the background otherwise this band wouldn't work for me at all. I usually check out every Relpase release, anyway. Need to get back into Doom Metal somehow...

    "is the photo on the cover of "of death.." by Joel-Peter Witkin? if not it is the best rip off of his style I have seen" [2] - I actually think it's a rip...

    Wow, this sounds SO sinister, it turns your room into a dark chamber immediately. Like a development on Esoteric in their demo-era, or Electric Wizard (better: Ramesses) at their doomiest and least psychedelic moments. Thanks again, Relapse

    The full length debut album, Below the Thunders of the Upper Deep, is out now on Relapse. Do yourself a favor and BUY IT NOW - IT FUCKING KILLS. Those of you who don't will invariably suffer the consequences, which include, but are not limited to crap music taste, my judgment, and eternal damnation in the fires of Hades. Fuckers.

    The tracks that are up on mySpace sound incredible. This is an interesting project in that the members of the band have never been in the same room together - its surprising that the end product could be as cohesive as these songs are. REALLY looking forward to this dropping on Relapse.
