Our new single and music video »An Endless Knife« is out now, directed by Kris Wymer.
After the death of a close friend, we wanted to make a record reflecting on that grief, to delve into it in a way we felt hadn’t been frequently explored. Suicidal ideation has surrounded our own lives as well as so many around us. Affecting so many of our choices, past, present, and future. The record takes our feelings around friendship, hate, grief, getting older, and each other all under the lens of choosing to die and how that comes to distort or clarify reality. This is without a doubt the most aggressive and vulnerable piece we’ve ever put together.”

The highly anticipated follow up to their 2024 album »It Gets Worse« is finally here! Kulk unveil their stunning new record and Church Road Records debut »Choosing To Die«, out 28th August. This Summer has never looked so bleak.
Along with news of the album, Kulk have also released their new video single »An Endless Knife«:
“»An Endless Knife« is about growing up. When we’re younger, sometimes it feels like we’re invincible. Like everyone we know and love are constant parts of the universe. When that reality is shattered, it changes how we see the world. You come to realise we are all just a couple of bad days from the worst. At the same time, it feels devastating. It reminds us to look after each other.” – Kulk
The band have toured across the UK extensively the past few years, playing amongst bands such as Part Chimp, Hey Colossus, Crowbar, Melt Banana, Iress, Big | Brave, Gnoomes, Conan and Portrayal Of Guilt… to name a few! They have toured twice with PigsX7, including shows at Electric Ballroom (London) and Rock City (Nottingham) and have appeared at the renowned UK festivals Arctangent and Desertfest.
Kulk is a two person band, composed of Thom (guitar/vocals) and Jade (drums/synth), the band is simultaneously an exploration into human suffering and an extension of their relationship. Kulk reflects exactly what heavy music is, aggressive and brutal yet ultimately made out of love for the ones around us. They pride themselves on their energetic and chaotic live performance.
