CULT INSULT

The End of Stagnation is the debut album from Glasgow trio, Cult Insult. It fuses conceptual sci-fi with meta-narratives, creating a jagged soundscape that illuminates any individual artist’s greatest challenge: the battle between creation and stagnation. In a future Earth, the Voyager spacecraft has been intercepted by the Inter-Planetary Guard. What they fear from the music contained on the device is the human ability to create it. And so, they attack, reducing the human race to several hundred inhabitants. Among the generations of recuperation, a king emerges. To appease his overlords, King Stagnant renames the planet ‘Stagnation.’ He rules it with an iron fist, outlawing any and all means of creation. But in the tunnels and caves, the legacy of Art is contained in a potion. The remaining few create ‘The Lost Track of Time,’ a clandestine program that will lead them to a new beginning. Their struggle is an allegory for the struggle of the artist. A daily battle that requires daily revolutions. A struggle that must eventually lead to the end of stagnation.
