Rival Cults

Like California's answer to Fields of the Nephilim, Santa Barbara’s RIVAL CULTS are here, pedaling their distinctly west coast brand of energized gothic rock, and bringing back the “rock & roll” that has somehow been forgotten in this era’s dark rock movement.

With baritone vocals that recall Sisters of Mercy’s more passionate moments over rock & roll that challenges The Cult for their throne atop the dark rock kingdom, RIVAL CULTS come together to represent that burning fire of inspiration that had been mere embers inside the band’s members for so long -- a universe of possibilities can be unlocked by one's will to overcome the goblins of chaos that can reside in their own unconscious.
