I listened to this music a lot. Most people say our music reminds them of those bands. They think we fit in the vein of old school black metal. Nevertheless, the greatest influence for music is occultism. The "magic" within our thoughts which forms validity in Slaughtercult's music.

Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, a cult German underground band, is known for its very raw black metal sounds. In short, they are not there for fun. Onielar is the high priestess of this game of musical massacre. She is one of the few women in a generally very masculine world. For Slaughtercult, each concert is a ritual which combines the magic and the occult. On stage, musicians spit real pig blood.
