Cvlt Ov The Svn call their music genre "Occult Murder Pop" and have remained anonymous due to being "musicians of renown in Finland".[1] Cvlt Ov The Svn are signed with Napalm Records[2] and debuted with the single The Murderer in 2018 followed by another single Whore Of Babylon in the same year. They released their debut full-length album in 2021 titled We Are The Dragon, which obtained mediocre reviews with 3 out of 5 stars from both Soundi[3] and Inferno.[4]
