Una de mis bandas favoritas de rock inglés de los 80's, la banda del señor Ian Astbury, quien después intentara hacer algo con los Doors sobrevivientes, luego de colaborar con su banda en el disco tributo.
Este trabajo es de 1994, pero suena como si fuera de esta década.... canciones como "Black Sun", "Sacred Life" en las que le rinden homenaje a Kurt Cobain y al mítico River Phoenix, "Joy", "Star", son buenísimas.
De la tapa ni se diga, ¿quién querría encontrarse con un chivo como ese?
Tengo un disco más el "sonic temple", pero no es tan bueno como este, aqui hay mas nostalgia, mas rebeldia, pero sin tanto ruido de hard rock.
Leamos lo que dicen de ellos en last.fm:
The Cult are an English rock band. In the mid-1980s, the Cult was one of England's leading heavy metal revivalists, a hard rock band with slight psychedelic flourishes, influenced primarily by the Native American mysticism of The Doors and the hard guitar rock of Led Zeppelin and AC/DC.
The band also touched upon post-punk goth rock, a relatively new style at the time.
The Cult had hits in Britain in the mid-1980s, such as "She Sells Sanctuary”, "Rain", and "Revolution" and in the late 1980s, the Cult broke into the American heavy metal market with the song, "Love Removal Machine". Although 1989's Sonic Temple is the band's most commercially successful album to date, by the late 1980s and early 1990s, the band was fraying behind the scenes, due to alcohol abuse and off-stage tensions. In early 1995, the Cult split up, citing unspecified problems on a recent South American tour.

Between 1999 and 2002, the band reformed to record the album Beyond Good and Evil and reissued all of their albums in Asia and eastern Europe in 2003 and Japan in 2004. In 2006, the band reformed to perform a series of worldwide tours, and a number of dates were captured for posterity by InstantLive. The band is set to record new material starting in February of 2007.
Bienvenidos al Culto!
