Cultic is an extreme metal band from Yoe Pennsylvania. The band coined the term "Dark Dungeon Metal" to describe their music which takes influence from early death-doom first wave black metal and punk rock and combines it with dungeon synth interludes and dark fantasy themes. Cultic was formed in 2016 by husband and wife – Brian Magar (guitar/vocals) and Rebecca Magar (drums) whose initial creative vision was to expand on the sounds and aesthetics of Winter Hellhammer and Celtic Frost. Cultic's frontman guitarist and vocalist Brian Magar experimented with extreme music at a young age starting his first band Septic Waste at the age of 11. He would go on to contribute to a variety of extreme music projects including Guntgrutcher Layr Albatwitch The Owls Are Not What They Seem and Poison Wind.
