Cologne, Germany based “brutal post-punks” TV CULT are proud to announce that their second album, Industry, will be released later this year on 10th October 2025.
On the forthcoming new album, TV CULT are set to chart darker waters than ever before, exploring themes including the decline of western culture and rejecting the belief systems that are presented to us.
Recorded by Christoph Scheidel at 79 Sound Studios in Cologne, the album was mixed at Holy Mountain Studios, London by Misha Hering (High Vis, Idles) and mastered by Brad Boatright (Off!, Sleep, Stranger Things OST) at Audiosiege, Portland.
The artwork for Industry features a photograph from world famous Köln based photographer Boris Becker’s ‘Konstruktionen’ series (http://www.boris-becker.com) and will be revealed in the coming weeks.
To celebrate the news, the band are sharing lead single ‘Communion’ which will be released on 20th May 2025 on all good digital platforms.
Commenting on the track, the band said: “The theme of ‘Communion’ is the idea of rejecting a belief system by calling it out for being vacuous and empty. Only by rejecting the false beliefs presented to us can we start seeking and embracing true meaning in this world.”
TV Cult are an eighties-inspired Post-Punk band from Cologne, Germany. Driven by brooding, domineering bass lines, cold and frantic guitars, powerful drums, and vocals that alternate between gothic croon and golden-era DC hardcore, TV Cult create a sound that blends the best of bands like Joy Division, Black Flag and Idles, yet is truly unique.
Recorded in the winter of 2022 at 79 Sound Studios, the four-piece released their widely praised debut LP Colony in November 2023 via Flight 13 Records. Since then TV Cult have completed their own headline tours across Germany, Austria and France as well as supported hot property names High Vis, DITZ, Militarie Gun, USA Nails, Ist Ist and Home Front across Europe.
The band are currently riding a wave of underground press frenzy in their home nation, and are now setting their sights on taking their brutalist approach to wider audiences in the UK.
Further details of the album will be announced over the coming months, with UK live dates TBC.
