The artwork of the songs inheres water symbolizing the element of temptation, when a foolish man found his watery grave through a siren’s beguiling, as Goethe's ballad “The Fisherman” relates. The Four Horsemen appearing in the CD booklet graphic refer to some encounters that occurred to me in the Mojave Desert.
lyrics
She was a Rose from Texas
fucking born and raised
Ace shootin' Republican
proud and crazed
I met her in Vegas
this Lone Star Gal
a Heart of Amber
but a Soul from Hell
Eyes like a Siren
a Mouth like a Whore
I fell for her Rune
and wrecked at her Shore
A Slave to her
to the Dream she sold
I slowly drowned
half I sank, half she pulled
It was a TXFO
TXFO
so crimson and clover
A fucking TXFO
She talked like a Sailor
this Full Metal Bitch
She lied like Cleric
burn that Witch
Deep in the Desert
the Horsemen called for me
that I shalt suffer
'til I've forsaken thee
It was a TXFO
TXFO
so crimson and clover
A fucking TXFO

The "Cult..." is UADA's sophomore album, and among all, the one I largely prefer. The Vocal performance, to start with, is truly outstanding, and while I really liked their debut album, this one is more varied, and overall is technically superior to anything else I've heard from UADA. Fast, aggressive, but with enchanting melodies to break in between, à la Dissection. Highly recommended! sachavonkarl74
The atmosphere on this record is amazing dark and beautiful almost spiritual at some points and crushing at others every song gave me goosebumps at some point vaguy22
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2024
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
