Cult Never Dies is a British publishing house, merchandiser and record label founded in 2013 by Dayal Patterson. Established initially for Patterson to be able to publish his works independently without external pressures, Cult Never Dies now publishes and distributes books from a variety of authors.[1][2][3]

Cult Never Dies books include Dayal Patterson’s series of books on black metal, which have been labelled 'essential reading',[4] as well as biographies on bands such as Rotting Christ, Paradise Lost, Moonspell and the record label, Peaceville Records[5].

Cult Never Dies is an official merchandiser for a variety of bands, including Ulver, Sigh, Mysticum, Beherit, Fen, Blaze of Perdition and Rotting Christ.[6]

In 2023, Cult Never Dies celebrated its tenth anniversary and published its biggest project to date, Black Metal: Evolution of the Cult - The Restored, Expanded & Definitive Edition.[7]
