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.
Add to My RadarThe Cult have announced that they are going to release a “prequel” to accompany their last record, Choice of Weapon. The album will contain material that hasn’t been previously released, and will be available exclusively on iTunes for two months only beginning October 16th. You can find the track listing here.
About the record, lead vocalist Ian Astbury comments:
“These songs were turned over and over, forged in long rehearsals and writing sessions, and emanated from challenges both personal and professional.”
Choice of Weapon was released last May.
Add to My RadarThe 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.
Add to My RadarIn a recent interview with ViperRoom.com, The Cult bassist Chris Wyse revealed that the band is almost finished recording their anticipated new studio album, which is supposedly due for release in April of next year. He explained, “The new The Cult deal is with [the] Cooking Vinyl [label]. We’re in good company with The Prodigy and Marilyn Manson. The record is nearly done; Ian [Astbury] is probably doing vocals right now. It is due out April 2012!! This record is kind of a Zep/Stooges mix of energy, and I believe showcases a new level of depth for The Cult.”
The new album is being produced by Chris Goss, frontman of Masters of Reality and also best known for producing albums by bands like Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss. Other than a series of new songs, The Cult haven’t released a full-length album since 2007’s Born Into This.

Technical death metal pioneers DEEDS OF FLESH return after a seven year hiatus with their 9th studio album Nucleus, set for release via Unique Leader Records on 11th December 2020 (Vinyl release 15th January 2021).
The band's first release since the tragic passing of guitarist / vocalist and Unique Leader founder Erik Lindmark, who lost a battle with sclerosis in 2018, Nucleus features guest performances some of the biggest names in extreme metal to celebrate his life and contribution to metal. Vocalist Jacoby Kingston is joined by members of Pathology, Gorguts, Dying Fetus, Submerged, Decrepit Birth and more.
With a mix of the old and new style of DEEDS OF FLESH writing, this album is the completion of a story that began with Of What's to Come (2008) and ran through Portals to Canaan (2013). The music was written by Erik Lindmark (RIP), Craig Peters, Ivan Munguia and Darren Cesca, and had been recorded and partially mixed for almost four years. When Erik Lindmark passed in 2018, vocalist Jacoby Kingston came out of retirement to help finish the album. Alongside long-time drummer Mike Hamilton, they finished the story arc, wrote the lyrics and made the vocal arrangements for Nucleus.
