Taken from ‘Choice of Weapon’ their most successful album in a decade, The Cult release the opening track ‘Honey From A Knife’ on 17th September 2012. They also land in the UK for some long-awaited live dates where fans can get their first chance to hear songs from the new disc alongside classics from the band’s stellar back catalogue.
The group have spent the summer spinning around the US and Europe on tour (including a near miss bus accident in Croatia) which has seen them win over old fans and new. Playing with acts as diverse as Patti Smith, Guns ‘N’ Roses, Jack White, Against Me and Garbage to date and have mixed festival’s and headline shows.
Shot in New York City by Rick Rogers (Prelude To Ruins) in a highly cinematic style, the video for ‘Honey From A Knife’ reveals, what Ian Astbury calls, a "desperate descent into a fractured psyche", the song title was inspired by the Buddhist precept: "Wealth and beauty, to a man who will not relinquish them, are like a knife covered with honey which, even before he has had the pleasure of eating the honey, cuts the tongue of the child that licks it".
Founder members Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy are joined by drummer John Tempesta and bassist Chris Wyse and the dates kick off on the 10th Manchester, with a show at Glasgow Barrowlands having been added to the schedule recently.
