Mindkult Set Sept. 20 Release for Lucifer’s Dream; Teaser Video Playing Now

Misanthropic Virginian one-man garage doom outfit Mindkult will release Lucifer’s Dream on Sept. 20. A debut full-length to be released on Transcending Obscurity Records, the new outing follows last summer’s Witch’s Oath EP (review here) which impressed in both the form of its aesthetic and the substance of its songwriting. I’m not saying I’ve heard it or anything, but as Fowst moves his project forward with this debut long-player, songs like the nine-minute “Behold the Wraith” and the closing title-track assure that both of those aspects are kept well intact and that there’s plenty of misery to go around. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

It was a pretty considerable list, but Mindkult‘s debut was among my most anticipated releases for 2017 back at the start of the year, and — again — not that I’ve heard it or anything, but it’s awfully nice to have that anticipation so thoroughly vindicated. Will hope to have more on it as we get closer to the release, but there’s a teaser clip playing now that you can see at the bottom of this post to whet your appetite.

And of course, info follows off the PR wire. Dig it:

MINDKULT announce new doom/stoner/shoegaze release on Transcending Obscurity Records

MINDKULT (US) – ‘Lucifer’s Dream’ Silver-embossed Box Set / CD / Merch / Digital (September 20th, 2017)

US band MINDKULT are turning the genre on its head. Stepping out of the confines of what can be called doom, they are going back in time musically to create all over again raw, heavy and stoner-tinged music that oozes horror appeal and bears a soothing post-punk sensibility. Call it doom, stoner or even shoegaze, all of it is correct because it’s a distilled blend to forge a sound that MINDKULT can call it its own. Nostalgic and dark, this is the band’s much-awaited debut full length that displays rare charisma and soulful expression.

Track list:
1. Drink My Blood
2. Nightmares
3. Behold the Wraith
4. Infernals
5. Howling Witch
6. Lucifer’s Dream

Line up:
Fowst – Everything

Mastered by James Plotkin (CONAN, ELECTRIC WIZARD, ISIS, JUPITERIAN, NADJA).
Artworks by Misanthropic Art (HOODED MENACE, FUNEBRARUM, HERESIARCH, INTERMENT).
