Rival Cults return with their first new offering since 2023, unveiling a shadow-drenched hymn that smolders before igniting into full-blown purification. Their latest single, Dripping With Divinity, stands at the crossroads of deathrock, post punk, and hard rock.
Like a dirge that spirals through themes of oblivion, transcendence, and exhilaration, the song seems to be treating each as part of a sacred rite. The band is once again great at pairing a looming, gothic atmosphere with a surge of triumphant energy, and the final offering feels like a dark celebration, all visceral and electrifying.
Dripping With Divinity is out through Dune Altar.
