Blood Cult are a band from Illinois that has been featured before in this zine and started out with a musical style they used to describe as redneck black metal and over the years have evolved into more of a mixture of southern rock and traditional metal and this is a review of their album "We're Gonna Take Your Soul" which will be released in 2025 as a joint effort between Witches Brew and Illinoisan Thunder.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album along with some psychedelic sounding keyboards a few seconds later. A lot of the riffing and clear vocals also bring in elements of southern rock along with some touches of classic 70's metal and the solos and leads also remain true to a more retro style.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while some of the riffing also shows an influence of blues rock. At times the album also gets very progressive sounding along with some of the riffing also capturing the raw energy of punk rock and most of the album sticks to a mid tempo direction.
On this recording Blood Cult moves way from the more black metal side of their previous releases and goes for more of a mixture of traditional 70's metal and southern rock. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the Satanic Panic era of the 80's and early 90's.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Blood Cult and if you are a fan of classic metal and 70's rock, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Demon Seed" "I Never Go Away" "The Devil's Child" and "Love". 8 out of 10.
