Ghost Cult Magazine at 14 Years Old

Featured


 

We Who Are Not As Others…

This weekend, Ghost Cult Magazine and our website turns14 years old. Established in the doomsday year of 2012, Ghost Cult Magazine has provided daily music news, interviews, and reviews and concert and festival coverage all over the world. We aare dedicated to covering Rock, Metal, Punk, Metalcore, post-Hardcore, Hardcore, Indie Rock, Doom, Prog, Death Metal, Black Metal, Sludge, Industrial, Grindcore, Dark Folk, Synthwave, other related genres, and geek culture as well!  

We live in a time when journalists are respected less than ever, and the music industry itself is on the struggle bus these days. It is tougher than ever to do what we do, and at a high level. Bands can barely make a sustainable living. Even the biggest bands are not impervious to failures of albums and touring. At the same time, we remain steadfast in our mission. A dedicated team of volunteers brings you music coverage on this website and our other channels, because we love to do it. We love music as much as you do. It starts there. Underground music fans, especially rock and metal are the most loyal and passionate in the world. We are grateful for anyone who has, in some way, shape, or form, helped to support us on this journey!
