Cult Never Dies is a British publishing house, merchandiser and record label founded in 2013 by Dayal Patterson.

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].[6]

Cult Never Dies is an official merchandiser for a variety of bands, including Ulver, Sigh, Mysticum, Beherit, Fen, Blaze of Perdition and Rotting Christ.[7]
