Attrition Cult
It’s 9 a.m. on a Monday morning. I’m in my home office, working while listening to “Attrition Cult – The Sacred Alchemy of Violence” (January 2019) and drinking chamomile tea. As an artistic person with ADHD, I have a lot of new thoughts every second or so. And that’s just how often Attrition Cult switches up their riffs, so it’s a nice pairing for my neurodivergency.
I love me some grind but I appreciate Attrition Cult’s doomy breakdowns and ambient noise–something they sprinkle heavily throughout, especially in the band’s latest release on Bandcamp, “Bloodcosm” (September, 22). It travels the path of chaos, black metal, and guitar whining through hall reverb to a literal wall of sound and alternating feedback loops.
Their bassist Travis admitted that they “don’t have much of an internet presence” but he was sure that if Lays Potato Chips released an Attrition Cult flavor in 2024, it would be kettle-cooked mesquite BBQ. Picturing the 30-second ad spot for the new product, I imagine someone sitting in a small dark room, sweating profusely, while they house a bag. Have you ever had an unsettling snack? Tastes good but makes you feel uncomfortable? Come to think of it, the flavor is perfect for Attrition Cult and we’re pumped to have them on board for our 2024 Heart on Your Sleeve Lineup!
