Interview with Orcultus done by Patrick
1..Hails what gave you all the idea to form Orcultus? How did you come up with the name for the band? What is the current line up for the band?
When I think of it I do not really think that Orcultus was formed. It is something that has been going on for a long that finally got it´s own name.
The name of the band is sort of a play with words. I will not try to explain it but in short it means misanthropy.
Orcultus has chosen not to reveal its members.
2.For the readers who have never heard Orcultus how would you describe the music?
Raw Black Metal.
3. Orcultus is working with the great label Forever Plagued rec. how did you all come in contact with Forever Plagued rec.?
Forever Plagued seemed to be a perfect label for Orcultus. And proved to be one too. They got the demo and liked what they heard.
4.Orcultus is getting ready to release two tapes through Forever Plagued "Black Rust" and "Endless Hate And Misanthropy" how long did it take to write the music for theses songs? Does the whole band work on the music or does one member usually write everything?
Endless hate and Misanthropy was written and recorded in one day.
Black Rust took almost a year.
Who writes what is not important.
Orcultus writes the music for Orcultus.
5.Who usually writes the lyrics for the band ? What are some subjects/topics do you all write about?
Almost every song has a misanthropic theme. Anti-human.
It is the same thing with the lyrics as it is with the music.

6.How has the responses been from the fans? What about the press?
It has been positive.
There has been some interviews but nothing more that that.

No, and there is no plans of a live performance.

There are a lot of good bands and even more bad ones.
9.Who are some of your all-time favorite Swedish metal bands? Are their any new bands you feel the readers should check out soon?
Bathory, always.
