According to an old Native North American legend, the “Wendigo” is a person consumed by greed or desperation, transformed into a cannibalistic creature, forever cursed to hunger, even after death.

Golem Dance Cult knew exactly what they were doing when they dropped the 13-track album “Shamanic Faultlines” on June 13th, embracing the eerie symbolism with a release that leans fully into the macabre.

The vocals are haunting and urgent, echoing like a warning from the forest edge. Each riff pulses with dread, each beat pounds like footsteps in the snow, and the eerie backing atmospheres conjure a mood that’s more than just spooky; it’s possessed!
