Influenced by iconic bands like Venom, Bathory, and Sarcófago, Evilcult released their debut album “At the Darkest Night” earlier this year, marking a significant milestone in their musical journey.
In a recent interview with Metal-Roos, Evilcult shared insights into their musical origins and the creative process behind their music.
