Reviving the Death Cult Vibe
For those who may not know, The Cult actually kicked things off under the Death Cult moniker back in 1983, stemming from Ian Astbury’s previous band, Southern Death Cult. They put out a self-titled EP and released a single called ‘Gods Zoo’ in the same year, but rebranded to The Cult by early 1984.

In August 1984, they unleashed their first full album, Dreamtime. A notable track was ‘A Flower in the Desert’, essentially a new take on Southern Death Cult’s classic ‘Flowers in the Forest’. Their next album, 1985’s Love, turned into their breakthrough, hitting the UK Top 5, all thanks to sensational singles like ‘She Sells Sanctuary’, ‘Rain’, and ‘Revolution’.
The most recent contribution to their discography came with Under the Midnight Sun, which dropped in 2022.
