Cultist - Band Interview [2023] The KingdomCore Podcast Episode: 032 | Christian Metal / Hardcore

Sean and Chris talk with the newest band, and perhaps most controversial on Facedown Records, Cultist. Their newly released album Slow Suicide is a heavy beatdown metalcore record full of hard truth. We chat about the early days of the band stemming from a solo project, into a full act, and now the release of their label debut. Prepare for a wild ride full of laughs as well as the first ever unboxing on the KingdomCore Podcast, as we witness the band see their Vinyl for the first time in person.

These dudes are brutal. When I was saved I willingly let go of a lot of dark metal and I thank God that I found these guys. Jon is definitely an awesome writer, I love his lyrics. Thanks for doing this, Chris. God bless

[@ForTheRock]

Thanks for the message! So cool to hear! 🔥🤟

[@mipmip4160]

These dudes are heavy as nails. Once I heard an observation of grief I was hooked.

[@bobbybrowning5898]

God bless these dudes! Loved hearing their hearts for Christ. ❤💀♥️ It's really great to see bands who are actually walking the walk in terms of living out their faith. So many bands, imo, used the "christian metal band" to get going and then decided they were too cool for Jesus and "turned away" from their faith. Just super encouraging to see guys who love Jesus stick to their guns.

I love what was said at 44:50 there. If Christians aren't bringing redemption, solace, peace, and an answer to the world, then most of what we do is pointless. My absolute favourite verse in the entirety of Scripture is Romans 12:21 "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"... and to me, that is what living a life of faith is all about. We get to quench evil with good. Great episode.

[@nickbufalinoacoustic]

They are soooooooo heavy. The lyrics remind me of A Plea for Purging at times. Great episode!

[@Princesschristina78]

Best band ever they freakin rock!!

[@THEREALDATALORD]

20:10 They discuss the band name

[@gordonholmes4986]

from Chapter 3, titled 'Why Are We Here' in he Basic Text of NA--- "Most of us realized that in our addiction we were slowly committing suicide, but addiction is such a cunning enemy of life that we had lost the power to do anything about it. Most of us ended up in jail, or sought help through medicine, religion and psychiatry. None of these methods was sufficient for us. Our disease always resurfaced or continued to progress until in desperation, we sought help from each other in Narcotics Anonymous. " - the concept is on point.

Christcore bad boys for life 🤘🏽😂

[@josephmegeed1879]
