In 2023, Death Cult returned and reunited for a handful of performances. In 2024, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Cult, Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy have curated the previously released Death Cult collection, ‘Ghost Dance’, and re-compiled the tracks for a 2024 release titled ‘Paradise Now’.
The release is available on crystal clear vinyl with a white and black splatter.
Southern Death Cult formed in 1981, releasing their sole, self- titled album posthumously in 1983. That same year, Death Cult formed, with Astbury joining forces with Duffy for a musical partnership that has endured for 40-plus years. The band released two 12”s that same year, one being the ‘Death Cult’ EP, which were subsequently combined and released as a CD. ‘Death Cult’ is a vital transmission from the generation of Shamanic post-punk gothic futurists.
In late 2023, Astbury and Duffy reformed Death Cult for a series of live performances, including a sole US date at The Theatre at The Ace Hotel in Los Angeles and a limited run of UK dates including back-to-back sold out shows at the Brixton Electric.
Death Cult became The Cult in 1984, releasing ‘Dreamtime’ that same year. The seminal post-punk band has gone on to sell in excess of four million albums with numerous international and US Gold and Platinum certifications.
Ian Astbury (vocals) and Billy Duffy (guitar) have released 11 studio albums over The Cult’s 40-year career. The 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 1987, 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.”
