The Cult

The Cult began life as a British post-punk/goth outfit in the early '80s called the Southern Death Cult. In due course, Ian Astbury trimmed down not only the band's name but its sound, embracing '70s-style riff-driven hard rock with the help of former Theatre of Hate guitarist Billy Duffy. In the late '80s, Duffy played Page to Astbury's Plant as the band rose to arena rock stardom and tracks which melodically combined powerful rock with goth underpinnings, such as "She Sells Sanctuary," became rock radio staples.
