The post-punk British rockers have a new album coming out in February.
Marking the end of a trilogy of albums that began with Born Into This, The Cult's Hidden City will be the band's tenth album in a career spanning over thirty years.
“Hidden City is a metaphor for our spiritual lives our intimate interior lives,” explains Ian Astbury. “I find today’s gurus are trying to peddle some cure, product or insight as if it’s a new phenomenon. My place is to respond, not react, to observe, participate and share through words and music. There is no higher authority than the heart.”
“I have performed at Le Bataclan on four occasions and was deeply shocked by what occurred on the evening of November 13th,” he adds. “In the video, we chose to depict scenes of wildlife and outer space to create a counterpoint to the wave of violent images we are constantly bombarded with and acknowledge the profoundness of being.”
