Cult Never Dies exists to celebrate both the past and present of extreme and underground metal, and as such, we are always interested in bands celebrating the early sound and ethos of the black metal genre. However, though we often hear newer bands talk of drawing upon the spirit of ‘true’ and ‘old school’ black metal, this often means simply recycling the Mayhem/Darkthrone/Burzum template of early 90s Norway. 

Thus, we are very proud to introduce our newest signing, Achathras. Created in the shadows by a collective of black metal veterans, Achathras is a resurrection and celebration of the values of the early to late-90s European black metal scene, a time when aggressive riffs, atmospheric songwriting, caustic vocals and otherworldly synth work offered a true alternative to the garbage of the mainstream. 

Epic and at times melodic, the band’s memorable songwriting feels utterly fresh yet will resonate with those missing the departed spirit found in the early albums of Gehenna, Odium, Emperor, Hecate Enthroned, Obtained Enslavement, Taake, Old Man’s Child, Ancient, Dimmu Borgir, Abigor, Covenant, Malignant Eternal, Forefather and Mork Gryning.
