The band is currently writing material for its as-yet-untitled sophomore album. They already entered the studio to start the pre-production. "The pre-production is going very well and the new songs are sounding great. We can’t wait to unleash some new tunes to the crowd during our upcoming European tour with Five Finger Death Punch and Shadows Fall," says bassist Spit.
Magnacult's debut album, "Synoré", was released in May 2007 via Rusty Cage Records. The CD was produced by the band themselves along with Jochem Jacobs (Textures) and Bouke Visser and was mixed and mastered at the Split Second Sound Studio.
Musically the band members are influenced by many different bands, ranging from modern metal to death metal and beyond. "We always like to challenge ourselves with what we do," said guitarist D. "Putting the ladder a step higher every time and pushing you to the limits every day again. Come up with weird counts but not too confusing and most important still keeping the groove in the songs. That was where we were aiming for while writing the material."
