Polish metal extremists Decapitated released their seventh album, Anticult, last week via Nuclear Blast. The 8 track slasher opens with the trail-blazing masterpiece ‘Impulse’ and doesn’t let up until the closing track, ‘Amen’. Thematically and lyrically, Anticult deals with the abstract idea of who and what we, as humans, are. Conceived and written by vocalist Rasta, it’s existentialism at its finest.
“You can find ‘cults’ everywhere and in everything we do”, explains Vogg. “‘Anticult’, from one point of view, is a rage against all of these values. An impulse. It makes you think: ‘What kind of world do we live in? Who or what pulls the strings? And what is our role here?’ So think of the title as finding your own ‘cult’. In that regard, ‘Anticult’ is, from another point of view, about illumination. Or Noesis.”
In celebration of the new release, Vogg and Rasta sat down to talk about their favourite tracks off the new offering.
