The Lion’s Daughter’s previous output, 2016’s Existence Is Horror (Season of Mist), was an overlooked gem that was suitably aggressive, but its underlying creepiness gave us hints that the Missouri three-piece had the drive to create a more engrossing, harrowing record befitting of such a title. While the record opted for outright crushing despair with little room to breathe, Future Cult (Season of Mist) muddies the waters somewhat by coating the brutality in a thick nightmarish atmosphere.
