The Cult formed in England in 1984, with the seminal post-punk band going on to sell millions of albums with numerous international and US gold and platinum certifications.
Ian Astbury (vocals) and Billy Duffy (guitar) have released more than ten successful studio albums over The Cult’s career. The band, dubbed “Shamanic goths”, found international renown with the 1985 album, Love, which featured the enduring rock anthem "She Sells Sanctuary", as well as the oft-heard follow-up single, "Rain".
Electric arrived in 1989, with journalists saying the collection of songs (particularly "Love Removal Machine", "Wild Flower" and "Lil’ Devil") “swaggers, crunches and howls.” In 2022, The Cult released Under the Midnight Sun. A review of the eight-song album succinctly said “rock’s unquenchable melodramatists have the fire in their eyes still.”
Astbury and Duffy reformed Death Cult in late 2023 for a series of live performances including a sole US date at The Theatre at The Ace Hotel and a limited run of UK dates including back-to-back sold out shows at Electric Brixton.
Over the early months of 2024, the band performed on The Howard Stern Show and begun a series of vinyl reissues of their full slate of critically-acclaimed albums.
