“I’ve just always been around my scene in Arizona starting [with] the first band we were playing bowling alleys and backyard shows and stuff,” frontman Joe Cotela explains from the back of the DED tour bus.

Their talents are all too magnificently displayed on the EP The Cult of Kariba, which reaffirms Carach Angren’s continued originality. As Ardek states, “We do our own thing. I think it’s cool when a band does something different.”

The collection is a triumphant marriage of technically weighted, Djent-adorned riffs, skull-crushing percussion & explosive melodies.
