Echo Cvlt has officially launched with its debut single “Diamond Hands (feat. Ragga Ragnars & Buzzsaw)” , out now on all platforms as of January 30, 2026. The track brings together Derek Engemann of Scour and Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, performing under his new DJ persona Buzzsaw , with Ragga Ragnars, best known for her role as Gunnhild on the History Channel’s Vikings .

The first offering from music collective Echo Cvlt, “Diamond Hands” delivers hard-style EDM intensity fused with melodic pop structures and metallic guitar riffage. Built for high-impact sound systems and crossover audiences, the track blends club-driven energy with a cinematic edge that cuts across traditional genre lines. Fans of Darren Styles, DJ Isaac, and Steve Aoki will recognize the kinetic pulse, while the guitar work injects a darker, more aggressive identity.

For Engemann, Echo Cvlt serves as a parallel creative outlet beyond the confines of traditional heavy music. “There is a lot of music resting idle in the cellar,” he explains. “Ideas that never quite resonated in the right avenue… until now.” The main guitar hook for “Diamond Hands” dates back to 2008. “It was never abandoned. It just needed the right track to thrive.”

The collaboration came together in 2022 when Engemann and Ragnars met at a biohacking conference in Beverly Hills. Already familiar with her acting work, Engemann was struck by her vocal ability. “Once the music for Diamond Hands was completed, I kept hearing her presence in it, almost as if the riffs had already shaped themselves around her voice before she ever sang a note.” Coincidentally, Ragnars had just decided to return to music that same week, making the collaboration feel inevitable.

Tracking began in San Diego, followed by a production trip to Iceland, where the music video was filmed across Ragnars’ home landscape. The stark terrain, volatile weather, and shifting gray skies provide a visual counterpart to the track’s tension and intensity.

“ Diamond Hands hits with hard-style EDM intensity, melodic pop structures, and metallic guitar riffage. Powered by vocals from Ragga Ragnars, with Buzzsaw driving the production, the track ignites the dance floor and dares you to Hold On for Dear Life.”

“Diamond Hands” marks the beginning of an ongoing creative run for Echo Cvlt, with additional collaborations and new releases already in motion for 2026 and beyond.
