Houston, Texas post hardcore outfit Cult Affections venture far outside their usual sonic territory with Everything Blood, a remix and cover-centric project that has quietly taken shape over the past several months. Conceived as an experiment, the compilation finds the band reimagining their own work through unexpected genres and fresh collaborative lenses.
The release is composed of a series of reinterpretations of their track Blood Drive. While each version explores a different corner of the genre map, the standout comes from Claudia Kane, whose darkwave rendition transforms the song into a brooding and atmospheric experience. This certain take is defined by its shadow-drenched energy, hypnotic rhythm, and an alluring sense of darkness.
Through Everything Blood, Cult Affections demonstrate the openness and curiosity that drive their sound, and underscore the multifaceted nature of it, proving that even when they step outside their comfort zone, the band maintains a compelling musical identity.
