AUTHOR TESTIMONIALS
“Working with Cult Never Dies during the making of our book was really a rewarding experience. Their thorough professionalism gave us the confidence and support we needed when we were finishing the project. Cult Never Dies is a flexible and a patient partner for a creative process. What I maybe valued the most, though, was the know-how and insight during the lay-out process. We talked a lot of preferences and how the book should look like from author’s perspective and found a common ground with the publisher through conversation. Also, I found it important that Cult Never Dies did not rush onward with the decision making in creative matters, but consulted our opinions in every turn. This all resulted to a finished product the author, publisher and obviously reading audience too (at least according to impressive sales and the feedback from readers and reviewers alike) are all very pleased with. Cult Never Dies is a well established publishing house, the best there is, when it comes to extreme metal literature. Dayal’s sense of aesthetic and informative both helped our book a great deal. The promotion is well taken care of and the wholesale matters are handled efficiently. I really have no complaints and am definitely interested of working with Cult Never Dies again in the future.”
Markus Makkonen (author of ‘Rotting Ways to Misery: The History of Finnish Death Metal’).
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dayal on two books. He had tons of ideas for expanded editions and boxsets — and both turned out fantastic and totally pro. He’s also very hands-off but knows when to step in to enhance the content, whether it’s a slight wording change or tracking down pictures. There’s a lot of work that goes into writing a book, but Dayal makes it easy. Highly recommended.”
David E. Gehlke (author of ‘No Celebration: The Official Story of Paradise Lost - Expanded Edition’)
“Doom Metal Lexicanum was an ambitious independent project, my own tribute to bands that I respect and love. Searching for a publisher turned out to be a disaster but my friend asked me if I tried to get in touch with Cult Never Dies. I sent an email to Cult the same day and soon it was answered. Looking back I’m still amused how swiftly we came to an agreement and how easy the rest of the process to DML’s release was. Cult is a place of zealots, but they’re managed to keep their sanity and professionalism despite a frenzied dedication to underground scene. So Doom Metal Lexicanum was an ambitious independent project, but there’s no doubt what Cult has raised it to another, far more professional, level.”
Alexsey Evdokimov (author of ‘Doom Metal Lexicanum 1’ and ‘Doom Metal Lexicanum 2’).
