| The Cult Of Joseph was a heavy gothically
influenced band
that mysteriously disappeared whilst on tour between Muncie and Gary,
Indiana. The band was formed by the brothers, Anthony and Jamie Rowan
and the earliest recordings can best be described as typical pop goth
sounding material. Six months before the disapearance of the
band, the members were constantly in the local music headlines for
various indiscretions and 'rock and roll' activities. It was
at
first rumoured and then confirmed by the band members themselves that
they had turned a darker corner and were experienting with multiple
occult influences within their music and personal lives. "There is actually only so far you can go while stuck inside of these cumbersome bodies. Hopefully our music will help you transcend this horrible claustophobic stuff and become something... something other. You're all quite pathetic creatures." Jamie Rowan - Xpression Magazine interview "I'd love to tell you all about it and watch your face screw up with ignorance and longing, but no... When the album is released we will open... something... and then the whole world will see what The Cult of Joseph is really here on the earth for." Anthony Rowan - Drumstix Magazine interview |
 The band's music became increasingly
difficult to listen to and took on a very dark overtone. The minimal
lyrics and strange note combinations also seemed
to put its listeners into a trance at times. The live shows
were
of an extraordinary nature due to the apparent theatrics used on the
stage regularly. The band was due to finish
recording "Chain Of Souls" upon returning from Indiana but the band
mysteriously disappeared.
