Jape Perätalo, lead singer and main songwriter of the band, stated: "With CULT we return to our roots. In our previous album 'Samsara' experimented a lot with our sound and influences, now it's time to return to the melancholy, heavy riffs and dark that characterized us in our beginnings, CULT be the most melancholy and dark album that has made To / Die / For in its history.

Today the band is formed by the founders and Juppe Sutela Perätalo Jape, That Viren, Matti Huopainen and the newly integrated bassist Samuel Schildt.
In early 2014, the band announced its alliance with the Peruvian agency Eternal Symphony Entertainment for the efforts of representation, management and booking in the territory of Latin America.
