"The Cult Is Alive" is the eleventh album by the Norwegian black metal band, Darkthrone. Released in 2006, this album represents a great shift in the band's style, as they incorporate more punk and crust punk traits than before. While the band's black metal roots are still evident, their shift from the genre's typical sound is much more noticeable. Commenting on the style of the album, drummer Fenriz has stated "Call it black metal or evil rock, I don't care..."
