The Cult have premiered a music video for a “Salem remix” version of their song “Elemental Light”, which can be checked out here. Frontman Ian Astbury on the video:

“The sentiment of this film captures the loss of wilderness, and a generation trying to make sense of the trash heap they have inherited. It evokes nature versus man, that struggle [and] desire to control nature and ultimately death.”

The studio version of “Elemental Light” can be found on their latest album Choice of Weapon, which was released last May.

The Cult have premiered a music video for their song “Honey from a Knife”, taken from their latest album Choice of Weapon, which came out last May.

The song title and video are based on the Buddhist precept from The Sutra of Forty Two Chapters, which reads, “Wealth and beauty, to a man who will not relinquish them, are like a knife covered with honey which, even before he has had the pleasure of eating the honey, cuts the tongue of the child that licks it.”

Go here to watch the video. It was shot in Washington Heights, a neighborhood in New York City, on a RED Scarlet Camera by Rick Rodgers.
