Cathode U.L.T Unleashes “Savagery and Salvation” January 24th, 2026

Midwest sludge unit Cathode U.L.T is about to drop their most punishing and ambitious work yet with “Savagery and Salvation”, set for release January 24th, 2026. Steeped in the grime and weight of true sludge while pulling influence from doom, punk, and thrash, the trio continues to carve out their sound for fans of Eye Hate God, Crowbar, and High on Fire.

Formed in August 2023, Cathode U.L.T wasted zero time making noise. Their debut EP “Coal Horse” (February 2024) introduced a harsh, rust-belt sonic identity. By Halloween of the same year, the band followed up with “Orphan Source”, which quickly won favor among early supporters and helped solidify the group within the Midwest underground.

Now barely two years into their existence, the band returns with their third release and most expansive effort to date. “Savagery and Salvation” pushes their songwriting further into dense atmosphere and crushing momentum, balancing raw aggression with bleak melody and dynamic tension.

“Savagery and Salvation is the 3rd release from Cathode U.L.T in less than 2 years. And is the most expansive records from them to date.”

Cathode U.L.T is:
• Sol. E. Williams – Guitar, Vocals
• Billy Price – Bass
• Stephen Eifler – Drums

Produced by Sol. E. Williams and co-produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Josh Ross for Ross Audio Engineering, the record captures a band moving fast and evolving even faster, refusing to wait for permission from any scene, label, or gatekeeper.

With no management, no label, and a relentless Midwestern work ethic, Cathode U.L.T keeps their hands dirty and their output heavy. “Savagery and Salvation” marks a defining moment for a band that operates on grit and forward motion.
