CULTED Signs With RELAPSE RECORDS

April 27, 2009

Relapse Records has announce the signing of the Canadian/Swedish project CULTED. The group's debut album, "Below The Thunders Of The Upper Deep", is scheduled for release in July.

CULTEDMichael Klassen, Matthew Friesen, Kevin Stevenson and Daniel Jansson (KEPLERS ODD, DEADWOOD) — formed two years ago via an Internet friendship between musicians with shared interests in bands like KHANATE, SUNN 0))), and ELECTRIC WIZARD. A truly collaborative effort across international lines, CULTED vocalist Daniel Jansson lives in Gothenburg, Sweden while the rest of the band resides across rural Canada.

"Below The Thunders Of The Upper Deep" was written without all four members ever having been in the same room nor ever spoken in real time.

Jansson commented: "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."
