News: Cultist Unleashes ‘Let The Light In’ Featuring Confessions Of A Traitor; New Album ‘Saint’ Arrives January 22
Facedown Records metalcore heavyweights prepare for a new album and extensive 2027 tour.
Southern California Christian metalcore outfit Cultist has released its latest single, “Let The Light In,” featuring guest vocals from Stephen MacConville of fellow Facedown Records act Confessions Of A Traitor. The track offers another preview of the band’s upcoming full-length album, Saint, scheduled for release January 22, 2027.
Hailing from California’s Inland Empire, Cultist has carved out a reputation for its punishing blend of beatdown hardcore, deathcore aggression, and spiritually charged lyricism. Since forming in 2017, the band has developed an uncompromising approach to heavy music, tackling themes of faith, suffering, and religious hypocrisy with considerable intensity.
Saint follows the band’s 2023 full-length debut, Slow Suicide, and represents the next chapter in its relationship with Facedown Records. “Let The Light In” marks the fourth advance single from the forthcoming release, bringing together two bands whose commitment to heavy music and Christian faith makes for a fitting collaboration.
Fans can also catch Cultist on the road in early 2027. The band will join Heal The Hurt and Small Voice for the KingdomCore Presents No Hope In Hell West Coast Tour, beginning January 30 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The itinerary includes stops in Phoenix, West Hollywood, San Diego, Anaheim, Fresno, Salt Lake City, and Denver, among other cities.
Cultist has also scheduled additional headlining appearances before and after the tour, including Boise, Idaho, on January 26 and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on February 16.
Saint is available for pre-order through Facedown Records, including two vinyl color variants. Collectors may want to take note of the limited Sandstone Burst edition, which the label has restricted to just 100 copies.
With a new album approaching and a substantial run of live dates on the horizon, Cultist is preparing to kick off 2027 at full volume.
