Edmonton’s CULLED Merges Empathy And Sludge Encrusted Grind In Second EP “Psycles”

​Edmonton, Canada’s Culled have a second EP coming out, “Psycles”, which takes their politically-charged, sludge-encrusted grind to a new level. The cover art on the five-track EP comprises a collection of all the musical themes of the songs within but is heavily focused on the oppressive nature of authoritarianism and how we are blinded by the cycles that we are doomed to repeat.

Like the cover art, “Psycles” deals with oppression and cycles of addiction: be it drugs, power, or religion. Similar to how their debut release “Thin The Herd, Fail To Learn” leaned heavily on the intellectual teachings of Noam Chomsky, “Psycles” leans on the compassionate thoughts of fellow Canadian Gabor Mate where empathy is a mainstay in surviving our current traumatic political climate. The band explains the album further:

“We are very proud of this release and have poured our collective energies into it. “Psycles” is a departure from our debut release “Thin The Herd, Fail To Learn” and feels like a natural evolution of our music with increased intensity and complexity all while retaining our core philosophy and thematic approach. We have never felt more like a collective unit than we do right now and that’s largely due to the huge efforts and enthusiasm from our new members Chris and Curtis.”

Culled’s ethos resonates throughout their music – Through empathy and understanding we can overcome our collective trauma and oppression. They are recommended for fans of Pig Destroyer, Neurosis, and Suffocation.

Listen to the EP’s full stream premiere of “Psycles” via Decibel Magazine HERE.

Due out on July 26th from Horror Pain Gore Death Productions, “Psycles” is available for album pre-order (CD / Digital/ Bundles) at https://www.horrorpaingoredeath.com and (Cassettes/ Vinyl/ Digital) https://www.culled.ca.

“Political tensions in the world are running high, and Culled want you to know that they’re not down with it. Combining their searing take on the state of the world with a sludgy grind assault, Culled back their statements with tight songwriting and aggressive performance. On their debut album Thin the Herd, Fail to Learn, Culled wrap angular grindcore in thick sludge, spitting out blasts, mosh parts and distinctive vocals that reflect the band’s disgusted mindset.” – Decibel Magazine

“Sludge grind is one of those things that shouldn’t really exist and yet somehow Culled make it work. They sound absolutely colossal on their new track “Contagion,” a nearly nine minute epic that manages to combine everything that makes the band great. The stop/start madness and dynamic interplay of this song speaks to the band’s talent as songwriters. Meanwhile, the guitar tone alone speaks volumes to what this band has come to represent. With punk fringes on some truly punishing tracks, it’s hard not to be fascinated by the morbid horror of the band. The lead single, ‘Contagion,’ is a mesmerizing ode. It comes from their upcoming LP, Thin The Herd, Fail To Learn, due out October 26th on Hibernation Release. It’s hard to balance two genres that seem so diametrically opposed whilst simultaneously sneaking in moments of pure explorations into the sublime. Experimental, genre bending and clearly forward thinking, ‘Contagion’ is a triumph for a rising force.” – Metal Injection

“Edmonton, AB grind outfit Culled push the boundaries of the genre on their debut full-length, Thin the Herd, Fail to Learn. The quartet incorporate slow, sludgy grooves and doom-laden riffs into their discordant grindcore, resulting in a contrast of sounds that is jarring yet complementary… Thin the Herd, Fail to Learn is an impressive debut that showcases a battle of conflicting sounds throughout its 25-minute runtime. What makes it work is Culled’s thoughtful approach to song composition and structure, along with socio-political lyrical content to match the angst-filled emotions that their music emanates.” – Exclaim!

​

Edmonton, Canada’s Culled started in early 2017 with the intention of embracing the contrast of slow crushing sludge and doom riffs with the blistering speed and chaos of grindcore ripe with messages of peace, and love that implore the need for empathy in today’s unpredictable and unstable political climate. Now in 2024, they have their second album coming out, “Psycles” on July 26th. Ahead of the full release, they have a single “Coercion” out, that delves into topics of authoritarianism as they comment on below:

“We wanted to give a taste of where we can land when we are not directly focused on the contrasts between chaotic grinding speed against sludging doom. Mid-paced groovy with an infectious and memorable hook helping to give weight to the lyrical theme of corruption being the core of authoritarianism and an essential need of our society, and our one true religion.”

The band goes on to explain that the groove in the middle of the EP adds a touch of rest from the chaos and a repeating theme that can bring the message home. Featuring members with a historical impact in the Western Canadian heavy music scene, including former and current members of bands such as Thorazine, Disciples of Power, WAKE, and Exit Strategy, Culled is known for their intensity of performance and message of integrity fueled with compassion and empathy. They are recommended for fans of Nasum, Pig Destroyer, and Neurosis.
