Coven Spell to Release Circle of 13 LP on DHU Records

One imagines it’s difficult to be a cult rocker. I mean in terms of lifestyle commitment. Like it used to be hard to be goth, I’d think. For those who are really deep into it.

An example. I dig a lot of cult heavy stuff on the doomier end, where Coven Spell reside with their instrumental selves, and on the classic rock end, bands sounding like Black Widow and all that. At very least, I keep an open mind going into it. But right now as I write this post, I’m sitting in front of the bathtub while my kid gets clean so he doesn’t go to school in about 40 minutes smelling like cheese. Really, little dude gets cheesy. So what could be less cult rock than that? Even with a bath bomb turning the water blue, I feel like it’s all the wrong kind of ritual.

Maybe I just suck at cult rock. I’ve never even read Aleister Crowley.

Whatever it’s worth, I still think this record sounds pretty cool, and if you’re somebody who finds cultish stuff perhaps a bit silly when it comes to lyrics, well, that’s not a problem you’re going to have here. Again, worth the open mind.

DHU — nothing if not experts in the field — sent the following down the PR wire:
