Cult - Introduction

The Cult are a British rock band, formed in 1983. Cult gained a dedicated following in Britain in the mid 1980s as a post-punk band with singles such as "She Sells Sanctuary", before breaking mainstream in the United States in the late 1980s as a hard rock band with singles such as "Love Removal Machine". Since Cult's earliest form in Bradford during 1981, the Cult has had various line-ups, and the longest serving members are vocalist Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy, the band's two songwriters.

After moving to London, the Cult released the album Love in 1985, which charted at #4 in the United Kingdom, and which included singles such as "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Rain". In the late 1980s, the Cult dropped their post-punk sound in favour of hard rock with Cult's third album, Electric, and Cult's fourth album, Sonic Temple, which enabled them to break into the North American market. By the early 1990s, the Cult was fraying behind the scenes, due to alcohol abuse and off-stage tensions, leading to a split-up in 1995.

The Cult reunited in 1999 and recorded the album Beyond Good and Evil, and Cult reissued all of their albums in Asia and Eastern Europe in 2003 and Japan in 2004. In 2006, the Cult reformed again to perform a series of worldwide tours. In October 2007, the Cult released the album Born into This, on the Roadrunner Records label. According to a July 2009 interview with Astbury, The Cult may never release any more studio albums
