Update from @darcybunio. Bearclaw Sitka spruce soundboard looking amazing with the black walnut and black cherry binding. Can’t wait to put shellac on this! #salvagedwood #bearclawspruce #customguitars #acousticbass @cowinnipeg @culted_official #culted #culteddoom @seasonofmistofficial #seasonofmist https://www.instagram.com/p/CQePL9Ggpy4/?utm_medium=tumblr

This Manitoba Maple is from a tree I unfortunately had to cut down outside the old studio that birthed @culted_official @of_human_bondage_official, and Big Trouble In Little China(the band). Extremely happy that Darcy can give it new life. Bass update from @darcybunio - End graft of spalted Manitoba maple and black cherry. #acousticbass #spaltedmaple #custominstruments @cowinnipeg #cowinnipeg https://www.instagram.com/p/CQQ9k46gf8r/?utm_medium=tumblr

Custom bass update. @darcybunio The flame is really showing in these Peruvian walnut sides. Tricky to bend but well worth the time and effort. #acousticbass #custominstruments #darcybunioguitars @culted_official @cowinnipeg #cowinnipeg #culted @seasonofmistofficial #seasonofmist https://www.instagram.com/p/CPhCQKdADrK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mike and I finally released this, this past year after sitting on it for almost 10! "The final chapter of Of Human Bondage 's existence is a relentlessly vicious lost classic you didn't know you needed - a murky cesspool where several genres went to die, it's a decade old, it sounds a hundred years old, and it will make you feel a millenium's worth of suffering and exhaustion after it's done with you." José Carlos Santos (Zero Tolerance, LOUD!, Roadburn Festival) Available on all streaming platforms! If you would like to own a digital copy, pay what you want. https://ofhumanbondage.bandcamp.com/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-a56BgKFI/?igshid=xlb69ydge1m2

Our latest video from "Nous." Link in bio. We are longtime admirers of Justin K Broadrick and Godflesh 's body of sound and have attempted to respectfully interpret and do justice to an incredible song. "Crush My Soul" was the first music we recorded for the album "Nous" and in many ways laid the emotive foundation for its modus operandi. We heartily agree with Decibel Magazine who eloquently stated, "In a parallel universe, that (Crush My Soul) would be the name of the album." "Nous" is available now from Season of Mist #cultedband #culteddoom #nous #decibelmagazine #seasonofmist #godflesh https://www.instagram.com/p/COa7j7sAgiI/?igshid=m3cyiveceryh

@culted_official We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness. ~Hunter Thompson Book: The Proud Highway https://www.instagram.com/p/COXQFTPA_JP/?igshid=1jo6vrzqa3tb9
