Cult of Orpist

Cult of Orpist emerged from the ashes in early 2021, forged by Chris Panagitsas and Hector Sohos with one ruthless objective: to unleash a relentless onslaught of 90s Death/Thrash mayhem, drawing inspiration from icons like SLAYER, ENTOMBED, SODOM, KREATOR, TOXIC HOLOCAUST, and beyond. With the addition of the savage drummer Sotiris Dimitropoulos, they honed their ferocious sound through relentless rehearsals. By the end of 2021, the lineup reached its apex with the arrival of George “Dimator” Dimitrakakis on lead guitar, marking the inception of Cult of Orpist's debut self-titled EP.

Brutality unleashed.

Cult of Orpist kindly shared with us their upcoming album "Attack of the Zombie Cans" and WOW. We start with an intro in "The Lurking Invasion" setting the ominious scene with the horror movie esque piano. The speed very quickly picks up in the title track "Attack of the Zombie Cans" the brutal sonic assault on display is relentless, the drums never stop thundering along. The track slows down for a brief moment with a melodic riff before bringing the pace and ferocity of the assault back to the forefront.

Unrelenting

It was incredibly hard to pick out highlights on the upcoming album as every song brought something to the table. We follow up the title track with "On the Verge of Insanity" and wow the speed never relents. You'll be headbanging within moments of the track beginning. The vocals on this track adds to the terrifying nature of the album with incredible gutturals.

Possibly our favourite track of the album, "Post Murder Suicide" starts with a creepy introduction with an incredible pounding, unrelenting main riff brutally punching through the song. You can certainly feel the Slayer influence in this track and I'm sure this will be many listeners favourite track of the album.
