NEWS: Culled find a new Halo…

Armed for the apocalypse with five fresh cuts of politically charged Sludge Doom-encrusted Grind, former members of bands such as Disciples of Power, Exit Strategy, Thorazine and WAKE have resurfaced in Culled. The Alberta Canadians with members residing in Calgary and Edmonton are restless and no longer content with a historical impact in the Western Canadian heavy music scene, returning six years after debut EP “Thin the Herd, Fail to Learn” reared its ugly head. Recorded Oct – Dec 2023 by Rob Lawless, mixed by Jesse Gander (Misery Signals, Unleash The Archers, Archspire) at Rain City Recorders and mastered by Brad Boatright (Cult Leader, Necrot, Pig Destroyer) at Audiosiege, their new work is titled “Psycles” lands on 26th July with pre-orders over at bandcamp.

The band comment: “”Halo of Flies” directly addresses the harms and trauma caused by the patriarchy and our collective roles in it. It goes beyond the history of harm, and oppression of 50% of our society but also addresses the manipulation to propagate the myth that a majority of our society needs to be subservient to our masters who have been gifted privilege by simply being born in the right color, shape and righteous area of the world.”

“”Psycles” is a five-track EP that directly confronts the oppression and cycles of addiction, be it drugs, power, or religion. Similar to how the debut release “Thin the Herd, Fail to Learn” leaned heavily on the intellectual teachings of Noam Chomsky “Psycles” leans on the compassionate thoughts of fellow Canadian Gabor Mate where empathy is a mainstay in surviving our current traumatic political climate.”
