Cultists released ‘Drop Dead’ on 30 September with a guest appearance from former Chelsea Grin vocalist Alex Koehler.
The Sydney band built the song around Japanese onryō folklore, using the idea of a vengeful spirit to frame its horror story.
‘Drop Dead’ follows earlier Cultists collaborations with CJ McMahon and Blake Curby. Koehler’s appearance gives the new single a direct connection to deathcore’s late-2000s wave.
The official video uses the same revenge-horror setup and gives the guest appearance a full visual treatment.
