The Cult formed in 1983 England, initially dubbed Death Cult, the seminal post-punk band have sold in excess of four million albums with numerous international and U.S. gold and platinum certifications. Ian Astbury (vocals) and Billy
Duffy (guitar) have released 11 studio albums over The Cult's 40-year career.
The U.K. band, dubbed "Shamanic goths" by Classic Rock Magazine, 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 Rolling Stone saying the collection of songs (particularly "Love Removal Machine," "Wild Flower" and "Lil' Devil") "swaggers, crunches and howls."
Most recently, The Cult released Under the Midnight Sun. Mojo, in a review of the eight-song album, said "rock's unquenchable melodramatists have the fire in their eyes still."
