Trve Cvlt - Paperback

by Michael Bettendorf (Author), Matt Blairstone (Illustrator)

You wake up with a brutal hangover, but that can't crush your spirits: you've been invited to take back the drum throne for Abyss, the cult band you co-founded. It means setting aside a turbulent history with Abyss' vocalist, Austin. You aren't sure if he's invited you back to bury the hatchet or if he's just desperate because infamous black metal legends Waste Doctrine are rolling through town. They've given you the opportunity to open for them and maybe, finally, get the hell out of this nowhere town. The promise of the upcoming gig doesn't come without its share of hurdles, though. Austin's hellbent on creating a ritualistic experience out of the performance, turning the abandoned roadhouse he's chosen as a venue into a bloody, occult nightmare. Yes, it's black f*&king metal, but is it too far? Only you can decide.
