We still know British hard rock band The Cult from the hits Love Removal Machine and She Sells Sanctuary, songs that roar loudly every thirty. The Cult was founded in 1981 in Bradshire, England. Both the hard rock fans and the 'bats' (lovers of gothic rock dressed in black) embraced the band in the late eighties and The Cult grew into a mega act. In 1986 the band was headliner of Pinkpop and then
… caused a big riot by playing until after the allotted time, against the wishes of organizer Jan Smeets. Smeets swore that The Cult would never be on Pinkpop again. After the successful period at the end of the eighties it has indeed quickly gone downhill with singer Ian Astbury and his men and in 1995 the band was even disbanded. That in 2001 they still don't know when to stop, is proven by the release of Beyond Good And Evil, The Cult's first full-fledged album in seven years. And the fans can rest assured: they have not changed a bit. There are still those devilish, hysterical vocals of Astbury and the bombastic sound of guitarist Billy Duffy. Never subtle, but always effective. The album was produced by star producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams) and that was not a bad choice: The Cult's music thrives in its famous 'stadium sound'.
