Alaskan Records are very proud to introduce the brand new act Cult(ure) to the roster. The melodic metal shoegaze tinged duo hail from Scotland & London, and consist of vocal dynamo Dyane Crutcher (ex-Syre) and songwriter / guitarist Owen Hughes-Holland (Defences, First Signs Of Frost)
After a chance meeting in 2022 through a mutual friend, and shared love of bands such as Deftones, Tool and Sleep Token, the two soon found themselves fluidly writing their unique blend of styles from the get go.
Whilst on a creative roll during the writing process of their debut material, the newly formed duo found themselves in the throes of personal tragedy, with the loss of an immediate family member and a serious relationship ending. In the wake of these dark times they would go on to write their most raw and honest music to date. A quote from guitarist & producer Owen H-H to sum up;
"We've definitely been through it individually over the past year, and I think I can speak for the both of us when I say that this band and the music that we've created has 100% helped us channel those emotions. These collection of songs are incredibly raw, honest and a true reflection of a deeply significant time for each of us."
