Today, Australian black metal cult Pestis Cultus stream the entirety of their highly anticipated debut album, fittingly self-titled, at esteemed cultural journal BardoMethodology.com. Set for international release on February 12th via Signal Rex, hear Pestis Cultus' Pestis Cultus in its entirety exclusively HERE.
Formerly known as Snorri - who delivered a demo and EP through Signal Rex as well as a split through brother label Harvest of Death, all during the years 2016 and 2017 - Pestis Cultus is the renewed audial manifestation brought forth by three lifetime friends and musicians from Perth, Australia, whose works have already been deeply carved in the worldwide underground black metal scene across various other projects. However, now officially as Pestis Cultus, the trio hold firm to the hideousness which marked Snorri's sadly short-lengthed recordings but ripen that rottenness to an exquisitely foul degree.

That voice & style could blithely be summarized as "putrid-satanic-necro-
Rounded out by a booming 'n' ghostly recording sharpened by Henri (Moonsorrow) Sorvali's mastering, layout by Heresie Graphic Design Studio, and intro & outro featuring the one and only Mortiis, Pestis Cultus' self-titled debut album is a stunner highly recommended for old souls and restless ones alike.
