The Cult

The Cult
THE CULT. British rock band formed in 1983. Before settling on their current name in January 1984, the band performed under the name Death Cult. They gained a dedicated following in the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s as a postpunk / gothic rock 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 including ; "Love Removal Machine" and "Fire Woman". By the early 1990s, The Cult were fraying behind the scenes due to alcohol abuse which prompted the band to split up in 1995. They reunited in 1999 and released the album Beyond Good and Evil two years later. They followed that by reissuing all of their albums in Asia and Eastern Europe in 2003 and Japan in 2004. After their second hiatus, The Cult reformed once again in 2006 to perform a series of worldwide tours.
