Cult Of Dom Keller release 'Shoot My Mind', the final single to be lifted from new album 'Unholy Drum'
Nottingham band Cult Of Dom Keller are today releasing ‘Shoot My Mind’, the third and final single to be lifted from their long-awaited new album ‘Unholy Drum’ ahead of its release March 27th 2026. Pre-order LP/CD here
Cult of Dom Keller’s first album in five years lands produced by Angus Andrew of LIARS, with whom the band struck up a fruitful creative partnership with when LIARS were drafted in to remix a track from their previous record, 2021’s.‘They Carried The Dead In A U.F.O’.
‘Unholy Drum’ is the result of half a decade spent evolving and deconstructing, Andrew digging his claws into the Cult’s vault of demos, ideas and fragments until something stranger stepped out – a more expansive and left-field art-rock sound shining through the cracks in the band’s dark psychedelic noise-rock. The band say:
“Songs were cut apart, inverted, whispered to. Left alone long enough to twitch back to life. All while the fever dream of global instability seeped into the DNA of the record… Working with Angus brought a different angle of experimentation to the way we worked. Together, everything was dismantled and pushed further into the dark… And yet, there was liberation. A freedom in abandoning defined roles. In serving the song rather than the structure. In hearing an idea suddenly explode into life.”
On new cut ‘Shoot My Mind’, which arrives following the recent singles ‘Leaders With Hoovers’ and ‘Let Me Go Satan’, Cult Of Dom Keller say: "Shoot My Mind began life as a garage-y mantra that slowly began to evolve into something that even we didn’t expect: trip-hop meets garage rock! Lyrically, the song is the confession of a mind assaulted, not by bullets but by the unbearable weight of perception. It acknowledges the cruel intimacy of being overwhelmed from within, the way brilliance, beauty, or horror can breach the mind’s defences and leave it irrevocably altered, as if the very act of comprehension is both pleasure and annihilation. On the surface, what appears as an upbeat song is tainted by the dark themes that haunt the new album. When Angus first started working with us on the demos for the album he said this was one of those tracks that once it gets in your head it’s hard to get out."
