The New Death Cult

The New Death Cult

inDie Space-cadet protest songs from the planet Netuluna.

Heavily influenced by the Foo Fighters but looking more like a DayGlo Ghost with a sci-fi back story that has the band being from the depths of outer space, New Death Cult are definitely an entertaining proposition. Throw in lyrics savaging the greed and corruption prevalent in all corners of modern life, and you have an aesthetic that’s loosely in tune with the Anonymous protest zeitgeist – the band members go by the pseudonyms Alpha (vocals/guitars), Beta (lead guitar), Gamma (bass) and Delta (drums) – while peddling some instantly addictive hook-laden rock. Moon, Edel, Blood Of Babylon and particularly True Eyes certainly have some Grohl in their DNA, while the epic Home and Light Spills Over weirdly bring to mind a very modern Blue Öyster Cult.

Who ever thought the revolution would be led by a bloke dressed in a rather fetching Darth Vader cloak? ■■■■■■■■■■
