Metal Blade Records is proud to welcome Iceland’s Cult Of Lilith to its worldwide roster!

Formed in 2015, Cult Of Lilith draws inspiration from multiple genres and time periods of music: metal (and all of its sub-genres), jazz, blues, flamenco, avant-garde, baroque and classical music. Uncompromising, raw and brutal, with hauntingly beautiful melodies, Cult Of Lilith is truly unique and diverse, but has a cohesive theme that binds all of their musical elements together.

As I Lay Dying have released a new single titled “Destruction or Strength”, along with a new T-shirt to benefit crew members and local charity.
