***Slaughtercult*** is the second full-length studio album by American [death metal](/source/Death_metal) band [Exhumed](/source/Exhumed_(band)). It contained backup vocals from [Henke Forss](/source/Henke_Forss) from [Dawn](/source/Dawn_(metal_band)) and guest lead guitars on one song by [Mieszko Talarczyk](/source/Mieszko_Talarczyk) of [Nasum](/source/Nasum).

## Overview

Founding member Matt Harvey said that *Slaughtercult* was "the album where we came closest to achieving our goal – just a brutal, simple, direct group of songs that were very up-front and live sounding."[1] He further noted the band's pride over the lack of [double bass](/source/Double_bass_drum) on the album, in contrast to contemporary death metal trends.[1] *Slaughtercult* also reduced the quantity of sound effects and samples in comparison to *Gore Metal*; Harvey attributed this to the departure of Ross Sewage, who had taken a leading role in the implementation of these sound elements in the past.[2] Harvey said, "We didn't feel like they [the sound effects and samples] fit in with the overall direction of the material and the feel of the album and we just wanted to make something 100% over-the-top and in-your-face."[2]

In support of *Slaughtercult*, the band toured the US three times, and embarked on their first proper European tour, including co-headlining festivals like Fuck the Commerce and [Obscene Extreme](/source/Obscene_Extreme). The band also appeared at the [Wacken Open Air](/source/Wacken_Open_Air) festival.
