Bandmixers Discography Series / Selections From -
THE CULT / SONIC TEMPLE (1989)
|
The Cult is a British rock band formed in 1983 in Bradford, England, by vocalist Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy. Known for their fusion of hard rock, post-punk, and gothic rock, the band's early sound drew on influences from bands like The Doors and The Stooges, while later albums incorporated elements of alternative rock and even psychedelia. Their breakthrough came with the album Love (1985), which featured the hit single "She Sells Sanctuary," a song that became iconic in the alternative rock scene. The band's follow-up album, Electric (1987), marked a shift toward a more hard rock sound, produced by Rick Rubin, and included the hit "Love Removal Machine." Throughout the late '80s and early '90s, The Cult achieved commercial success with albums like Sonic Temple (1989) and Ceremony (1991), before going on hiatus in the mid-'90s. The band reunited in the 2000s and continued to release music, maintaining a loyal fan base with albums such as Born Into This (2007) and Hidden City (2016). Known for their energetic performances and Astbury's distinctive voice, The Cult has left a lasting impact on the rock world, blending darkness, mysticism, and sonic intensity into their enduring legacy.
