Guitar Cult is a group of Seattle area guitarists assembled by Ben McAllister to play his compositions, which present a mixture of minimalism and maximalism by bringing together seven or so guitars with a drum kit.

McAllister’s background runs back to the early 80s, when he played in Medicine Hat, and has extended through a number of bands playing various styles of music, but he has also studied music theory and composition, and Guitar Cult fulfills some of that ambition.
