In July 2020, with the first anniversary of the band looming, a new album seemed a given, celebrating a successful year of breaking musical boundaries and redefining almost every genre. This album came in the form of The Five Cultists, a coherent presentation intended to showcase all five members of the band, each having at least a few tracks to really shine, with a strong narrative through-line that connected the songs into a winding tale of a journey from the dark DWT Tower to the fields where Goatward the goat roamed, bustling bars serving Deborah J's beverage of choice, a real sense of the group coming together to go on an exciting adventure. Sadly it proved to be something of a last hoorah for the band in its original line-up. By the end of the month, conflict within the group and personal-life issues would see Deborah J and Danoftardis take breaks from the band, and Dalekcheese ultimately departed following irreconcilable differences with her bandmates. Although her drum work was included on some tracks of the "Banned on the Run" EP, and her likeness featured on its cover, she had left by the time of its release, making The Five Cultists the final piece of TCoS content to come out while the original five cultists were all still active.

The Album featured two songs which had been released as singles in the lead-up to the album's release, **Typo Central** and **Daisy in the Sky with Diamonds**. It also notably featured a studio-recorded version of the hugely popular song Glasgow's Burning, which had until then only been available in its live performance recording from **Live at the Daily Vortex**.

Since the first anniversary was considered a big milestone, the decision was made to give this celebratory album two versions; a standard release available on cd and vinyl, and a limited run "Skaroversary Special" cd with unique cover artwork, an extensive booklet of rare TCoS images and a dvd of all the TCoS music videos up to that point, something which up until then had not been released on physical media. There was also a cassette tape release of the Skaroversary special, though this lacked both the booklet and the DVD.

Due to a printing error, not one but two incorrect back covers found their way onto a small number of released copies of the standard edition CD of the album, one ommitting the track "The Ballad of Dan and Sheba" from its listing and putting the remaining tracks in a different order (the discs still maintained the standard track order, to the confusion of many who purchased this misprint) and the other leaving in a typo listing track 2 as "Goatpoasting" instead of "Goatposting", a typo also found on the 15 track misprinted cover. Due to the small numbers of these misprints produced, they are now a very rare and sought-after piece of TCoS memorabilia.
