History
The Cult formed in Bradford, England, in 1983, evolving out of singer Ian Astbury's earlier band Southern Death Cult. They performed briefly as Death Cult before settling on the name The Cult in January 1984. Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy became the band's constant core and main songwriters through many line-up changes. Early albums Dreamtime (1984) and Love (1985) established them as a post-punk and gothic rock act in the UK, with the single "She Sells Sanctuary" becoming a genre landmark. On 1987's Electric, produced by Rick Rubin, the band pivoted hard toward hard rock, scoring hits like "Love Removal Machine" and breaking into the US mainstream. After relocating to Los Angeles, they released Sonic Temple (1989) with producer Bob Rock, their most commercially successful record, featuring "Fire Woman". Internal tensions grew through Ceremony (1991) and the self-titled The Cult (1994), and the band disbanded in 1995.
