href="/wiki/Bradford" title="Bradford">Bradford</a> in 1983. Before settling on their current name in January 1984, the band had performed under the name Death Cult, which was an evolution of the name of lead vocalist <a href="/wiki/Ian_Astbury" title="Ian Astbury">Ian Astbury</a>'s previous band <a href="/wiki/Southern_Death_Cult" title="Southern Death Cult">Southern Death Cult</a>. They gained a dedicated following in the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s as a <a href="/wiki/Post-punk" title="Post-punk">post-punk</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gothic_rock" title="Gothic rock">gothic rock</a> band, with singles such as "<a href="/wiki/She_Sells_Sanctuary" title="She Sells Sanctuary">She Sells Sanctuary</a>", before breaking into the mainstream in the United States in the late 1980s establishing themselves as a <a href="/wiki/Hard_rock" title="Hard rock">hard rock</a> band with singles such as "<a href="/wiki/Love_Removal_Machine" title="Love Removal Machine">Love Removal Machine</a>". Since its initial formation in 1983, the band have had various line-ups: the longest-serving members are Astbury and guitarist <a href="/wiki/Billy_Duffy" title="Billy Duffy">Billy Duffy</a>, who are also their two main songwriters. </p><p>The Cult's debut studio album <i><a href="/wiki/Dreamtime_(The_Cult_album)" title="Dreamtime (The Cult album)">Dreamtime</a></i> was released in 1984 to moderate success, with its lead single "<a href="/wiki/Spiritwalker" title="Spiritwalker">Spiritwalker</a>" reaching No. 1 on the <a href="/wiki/UK_Independent_Singles_and_Albums_Charts" title="UK Independent Singles and Albums Charts">UK Indie Chart</a>. Their second studio album, <i><a href="/wiki/Love_(The_Cult_album)" title="Love (The Cult album)">Love</a></i> (1985), was also successful, charting at No. 4 in the UK and including singles such as "She Sells Sanctuary" and "<a href="/wiki/Rain_(The_Cult_song)" title="Rain (The Cult song)">Rain</a>". The band's third studio album, <i><a href="/wiki/Electric_(The_Cult_album)" title="Electric (The Cult album)">Electric</a></i> (1987), launched them to new heights of success, also peaking at No. 4 in the UK and charting highly in other territories, and spawned the hit singles "Love Removal Machine", "Lil' Devil" and "Wild Flower". On that album, the Cult supplemented their post-punk sound with hard rock; the polish on this new sound was facilitated by producer <a href="/wiki/Rick_Rubin" title="Rick Rubin">Rick Rubin</a>. After moving to <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a>, where the band have been based for the remainder of their career,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the Cult continued the musical experimentation of <i>Electric</i> with its follow-up studio album <i><a href="/wiki/Sonic_Temple" title="Sonic Temple">Sonic Temple</a></i> (1989), which marked their first collaboration with <a href="/wiki/Bob_Rock" title="Bob Rock">Bob Rock</a>, who would produce several of the band's subsequent studio albums. <i>Sonic Temple</i> was their most successful studio album to that point, entering the Top 10 on the UK and US charts, and included one of the band's most popular songs "<a href="/wiki/Fire_Woman" title="Fire Woman">Fire Woman</a>". </p><p>By the time of their fifth studio album <i><a href="/wiki/Ceremony_(The_Cult_album)" title="Ceremony (The Cult album)">Ceremony</a></i> (1991), tensions and creative differences began to surface between the band members. This resulted in the recording sessions for <i>Ceremony</i> being held without a stable line-up, leaving Astbury and Duffy as the only two official members, and featuring support from session musicians on bass guitar and drums. The ongoing tension had carried over within the next few years, during which one more studio album, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Cult_(album)" title="The Cult (album)">The Cult</a></i> (1994), was recorded.<sup id="cite_ref-BIOAMG_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BIOAMG-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After their first breakup in 1995, the Cult reformed in 1999 and released their seventh studio album <i><a href="/wiki/Beyond_Good_and_Evil_(album)" title="Beyond Good and Evil (album)">Beyond Good and Evil</a></i> two years later.

The single "<a href="/wiki/Gods_Zoo" title="Gods Zoo">Gods Zoo</a>" was released in October 1983. Another European tour, with UK dates, followed that autumn. To tone down their name's gothic connotations and gain broader appeal, the band changed its name to "the Cult" in January 1984 before appearing on the <a href="/wiki/Channel_4" title="Channel 4">Channel 4</a> television show, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tube_(1982_TV_series)" title="The Tube (1982 TV series)">The Tube</a></i>. </p><p>The Cult's debut studio album, <i><a href="/wiki/Dreamtime_(The_Cult_album)" title="Dreamtime (The Cult album)">Dreamtime</a></i>, was recorded at Rockfield Studios, in <a href="/wiki/Monmouth" title="Monmouth">Monmouth</a>, Wales in 1984. The record was to be produced by Joe Julian, but after recording the drum tracks, the band decided to replace him with John Brand. Brand produced the record, but guitarist Duffy has said the drum tracks were produced by Julian, as Preston had become unreliable. </p><p>The band recorded the songs which later became known as "Butterflies", "(The) Gimmick", "A Flower in the Desert", "Horse Nation", "<a href="/wiki/Spiritwalker" title="Spiritwalker">Spiritwalker</a>", "Bad Medicine (Waltz)", "Dreamtime", "With Love" (later known as "Ship of Fools", and also "Sea and Sky"), "Bone Bag", "Too Young", "83rd Dream", and one untitled outtake. It is unknown what the outtake was, or whether it was developed into a song at a later date. Songs like "Horse Nation" showed Astbury's intense interest in Native American issues, with the lyrics to "Horse Nation", "See them prancing, they come neighing, to a horse nation", taken almost verbatim from the book <i><a href="/wiki/Bury_My_Heart_at_Wounded_Knee" title="Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee">Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee</a></i> (1970), while "<a href="/wiki/Spiritwalker" title="Spiritwalker">Spiritwalker</a>" dealt with <a href="/wiki/Shamanism" title="Shamanism">shamanism</a>, and the record's title and title track are overtly influenced by Australian <a href="/wiki/Indigenous_Australians" title="Indigenous Australians">Aboriginal</a> beliefs. </p><p>On 4 April 1984, the Cult released the single "<a href="/wiki/Spiritwalker" title="Spiritwalker">Spiritwalker</a>", which reached No. 1 on the independent charts in the UK, and acted as a teaser for their forthcoming studio album <i><a href="/wiki/Dreamtime_(The_Cult_album)" title="Dreamtime (The Cult album)">Dreamtime</a></i>. This was followed that summer by a second single, "<a href="/wiki/Go_West_(Crazy_Spinning_Circles)" title="Go West (Crazy Spinning Circles)">Go West (Crazy Spinning Circles)</a>", before the release of <i>Dreamtime</i> in September; the album reached No. 21 in the UK, and sold over 100,000 copies in the UK alone.

Neither charted in the US. Another single, "Nirvana", was issued only in Poland. The album version of "Rain", as well as the remix "(Here Comes the) Rain", were used in the Italian horror film <i><a href="/wiki/Demons_2" title="Demons 2">Demons 2</a></i> (1986). Once back in England, the band booked themselves into the <a href="/wiki/The_Manor_Studio" title="The Manor Studio">Manor Studios</a> in Oxfordshire, with producer Steve Brown (who had produced <i>Love</i>), and recorded over a dozen new songs. The band were unhappy with the sound of their new studio album, titled <i>Peace</i>, and they decided to go to New York so producer <a href="/wiki/Rick_Rubin" title="Rick Rubin">Rick Rubin</a> could remix the first single, "<a href="/wiki/Love_Removal_Machine" title="Love Removal Machine">Love Removal Machine</a>". </p><p>Rubin agreed to work with the band, but only if they re-recorded the song. Rubin eventually talked them into re-recording the entire album. The band's record company, Beggars Banquet, was displeased with this, as two months and £250,000 had already been spent on the record. However, after hearing the initial New York recording, Beggars Banquet agreed to proceed. The first single, "Love Removal Machine", was released in February 1987, and the new version of the album appeared in April that year, now renamed as <i><a href="/wiki/Electric_(The_Cult_album)" title="Electric (The Cult album)">Electric</a></i>, reaching No. 4 and eventually outselling <i>Love</i>. The band toured with <a href="/wiki/Kid_Chaos" title="Kid Chaos">Kid Chaos</a> (also known as "Haggis" and "The Kid") on bass guitar, with Stewart on rhythm guitar. Two more singles, "Lil Devil" and "Wild Flower", were released during 1987. A few tracks from the original <i>Peace</i> album appeared on the single versions of "Love Removal Machine", and "Lil Devil". The full <i>Peace</i> album would not be released until 2000, when it was included as Disc 3 of the <i>Rare Cult</i> box set. </p><p>In the US, the Cult, now consisting of Astbury, Duffy, Stewart, Warner and Kid Chaos, were supported by a then-unknown <a href="/wiki/Guns_N%27_Roses" title="Guns N' Roses">Guns N' Roses</a>. The band also appeared at <a href="/wiki/Roskilde_Festival" title="Roskilde Festival">Roskilde Festival</a> in Denmark in June 1987. During the Australian part of the world tour, the band wrecked £30,000 worth of equipment, and as a result they could not tour Japan as no company would rent them new equipment. At the end of the tour the <i>Electric</i> album had been certified Gold in the UK, and sold roughly 3 million copies worldwide, but the band were barely speaking to each other by then. Haggis left the band at the end of the <i>Electric</i> tour to form <a href="/wiki/The_Four_Horsemen_(band)" title="The Four Horsemen (band)">the Four Horsemen</a> for Rubin's <a href="/wiki/American_Recordings_(US)" class="mw-redirect" title="American Recordings (US)">Def American</a> label. Astbury and Duffy fired Warner and their management team Grant/Edwards, and moved to <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> with Stewart. Warner sued the band several times for his firing, as well as for what he considered were unpaid royalties for his performance on the <i>Electric</i> album, resulting in lengthy court battles. The Cult signed a new management deal and wrote 21 new songs for their next album. </p><p>For the next studio album, Stewart returned to playing bass guitar, and John Webster was brought in to play keyboards. The band used Chris Taylor to play drums during rehearsals and record the demos, with future <a href="/wiki/Kiss_(band)" title="Kiss (band)">Kiss</a> drummer <a href="/wiki/Eric_Singer" title="Eric Singer">Eric Singer</a> performing during the second demo recording sessions.

The next single, "Edie (Ciao Baby)" (UK No. 25) has become a regular song at concerts for many years. </p><p>In Europe, the band toured with <a href="/wiki/Aerosmith" title="Aerosmith">Aerosmith</a>, and in the US, after releasing another single "Sun King" (UK No. 42), they spent 1989 touring in support of <a href="/wiki/Metallica" title="Metallica">Metallica</a> before heading out on their own headlining tour later that same year. A fourth single, "Sweet Soul Sister" (UK No. 38), was released in February 1990, with the video having been filmed at <a href="/wiki/Wembley_Arena" title="Wembley Arena">Wembley Arena</a>, London, on 25 November 1989. "Sweet Soul Sister" was partially written in <a href="/wiki/Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a> and was inspired by the <a href="/wiki/Bohemianism" title="Bohemianism">bohemian</a> lifestyle of that city. Released as a single in February 1990, the song was another hit in the UK, and reportedly reached number one on the rock charts in Brazil. After playing a show in <a href="/wiki/Atlanta" title="Atlanta">Atlanta</a> in February 1990, the band's management told Astbury that his father had just died of cancer; as a result, the remainder of the tour was cancelled after a final leg of shows were performed in April. After the tour ended, the band were on the verge of breaking-up due to Stewart retiring and moving to Canada to be with his wife, and Sorum leaving to join <a href="/wiki/Guns_N%27_Roses" title="Guns N' Roses">Guns N' Roses</a>. </p><p>In 1990, Astbury organised the <a href="/wiki/A_Gathering_of_the_Tribes" title="A Gathering of the Tribes">Gathering of the Tribes</a> festival in Los Angeles and <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco" title="San Francisco">San Francisco</a> with artists such as <a href="/wiki/Soundgarden" title="Soundgarden">Soundgarden</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ice-T" title="Ice-T">Ice-T</a>, <a href="/wiki/Indigo_Girls" title="Indigo Girls">Indigo Girls</a>, <a href="/wiki/Queen_Latifah" title="Queen Latifah">Queen Latifah</a>, <a href="/wiki/Iggy_Pop" title="Iggy Pop">Iggy Pop</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Charlatans_(English_band)" title="The Charlatans (English band)">the Charlatans</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Cramps" title="The Cramps">the Cramps</a> and <a href="/wiki/Public_Enemy" title="Public Enemy">Public Enemy</a> appearing.

Astbury started up a <a href="/wiki/Garage_rock" title="Garage rock">garage band</a> called <a href="/wiki/Holy_Barbarians_(band)" title="Holy Barbarians (band)">Holy Barbarians</a> a few months later. The band made their debut at the <a href="/wiki/100_Club" title="100 Club">100 Club</a> in London in February 1996 and released their first (and only) studio album in May 1996, and toured throughout North America and Europe for the rest of 1996. The band started writing material for a second studio album in 1997, but the band was dissolved and Astbury began writing and recording a solo album. Throughout 1997 and 1998 Astbury recorded his debut solo studio album, originally to be titled <i>Natural Born Guerilla</i>, later called <i>High Time Amplifier</i>. Ultimately the album remained unreleased until June 2000 when it was released under the name <i>Spirit\Light\Speed</i>.

The song was featured prominently and the melody was fused into parts of the score. In June, Astbury's long-delayed debut solo studio album was finally released as <i>Spirit\Light\Speed</i>, but it failed to gain much success. In November 2000, another authorised greatest hits compilation was released, <i><a href="/wiki/Pure_Cult:_The_Singles_1984%E2%80%931995" title="Pure Cult: The Singles 1984–1995">Pure Cult: The Singles 1984–1995</a></i>, along with an accompanying DVD, which was later certified gold in Canada.

The box set consists of album out-takes, demos, radio broadcasts, and album B-sides. It is most notable for including the previously unreleased <i>Peace</i> album in its entirety. In 2001, the band signed to <a href="/wiki/Atlantic_Records" title="Atlantic Records">Atlantic Records</a> and recorded a new studio album, <i><a href="/wiki/Beyond_Good_and_Evil_(album)" title="Beyond Good and Evil (album)">Beyond Good and Evil</a></i>, originally being produced by <a href="/wiki/Mick_Jones_(Foreigner_guitarist)" title="Mick Jones (Foreigner guitarist)">Mick Jones</a> of <a href="/wiki/Foreigner_(band)" title="Foreigner (band)">Foreigner</a>, until Jones bowed out to tour with Foreigner.

Although Sorum has previously toured with the band on the <i>Sonic Temple</i> tour in 1989, this was the first time that he had recorded a studio album with the band. </p><p>However <i>Beyond Good and Evil</i> was not the comeback record the band had hoped for. Despite reaching No. 37 in the US, No. 22 in Canada, and No. 25 in Spain, sales quickly dropped, only selling roughly 500,000 copies worldwide. The first single "Rise", reached No. 41 in the US, and No. 2 on the mainstream rock charts, but Atlantic Records quickly pulled the song from radio playlists. Astbury would later describe the experience with Atlantic to be "soul destroying", after Atlantic tried to tamper with the lyrics, the record cover, and choice of singles from the record. </p><p>After the first single from the record, the band's working relationship with Atlantic was on paper only, with Atlantic pulling "Rise" from the radio stations playlists, and stopping all promotion of the record. The second single "Breathe" was only released as a radio station promo, and the final single "True Believers" was only on a compilation sampler disc released in January 2002 (after the Cult's tour had already ended). Despite "True Believers" receiving radio airplay in Australia, both singles went largely unnoticed, and both Astbury and Duffy walked away from the project. LeNoble rejoined the band for the initial dates in early 2001, and <a href="/wiki/Billy_Morrison" title="Billy Morrison">Billy Morrison</a> filled in on bass guitar for the majority of the 2001 tour. </p><p>The European tour of 2001 was cancelled, largely due to security concerns after the <a href="/wiki/September_11_attacks" title="September 11 attacks">9/11 terrorist attacks</a>, and the band flew back to the US to tour again with Aerosmith.
