A 16-TRACK LIVE ALBUM DOCUMENTING THE REBIRTH OF DEATH CULT OUT JANUARY 16, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/deathcult.ffm.to\/paradiselive<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Death Cult laid the groundwork for the band we now know as The Cult, and in 2023, to mark the band’s 40th anniversary, Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy, along with John Tempesta on bass and Charlie Jones on drums, revived Death Cult for a special run of shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out on Jan. 16, Paradise Live<\/em> is a 16-track live album that documents this rebirth of Death Cult. Recorded at the iconic Albert Hall in Duffy\u2019s hometown of Manchester on Nov. 18, 2023, the release, which features no overdubs, will be available on 2LP, CD, and digitally. Two editions of the vinyl will be available: a black splatter edition available exclusively from the band\u2019s webstore, and a white splatter edition will be available everywhere else: https:\/\/deathcult.ffm.to\/paradiselive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the center of the night\u2019s set was the hypnotic 1982 Cult single “Resurrection Joe.” One of many high points of the evening, it is available to listen to now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As New Noise<\/em> Magazine wrote, \u201cIan and Duffy are brothers in musical cause and are counterparts to a quintessential era of Gothic New Wave or First Wave, Camden-era punk. Death Cult were the brothers of The Clash and Siouxsie and The Banshees. They were in the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cult\u2019s first incarnation was Southern Death Cult, formed in 1981, releasing their sole, self-titled album posthumously in 1983. That same year, Death Cult formed, with Ian Astbury joining forces with Billy Duffy for a musical partnership that has endured for 40+ years. Death Cult became The Cult in 1984 releasing Dreamtime<\/em> that same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ian and Billy initially weren\u2019t sure how many shows they would do as Death Cult, but the post-punk gothic futurists decided to listen to the requests to keep the fervor going. The next leg of shows begins tonight in Niagara Falls and continues to Oct. 30 in Los Angeles. These truly special evenings will have Death Cult opening for The Cult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cult has enjoyed numerous international and U.S. gold and platinum certifications. Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy have released 11 studio albums over The Cult\u2019s 40-year career. The band found international renown with the 1985 album, Love<\/em>, which featured the enduring rock anthem \u201cShe Sells Sanctuary,\u201d as well as the oft-heard follow-up single \u201cRain.\u201d Electric<\/em> arrived in 1987, with Rolling Stone<\/em> saying the collection of songs (particularly \u201cLove Removal Machine,\u201d \u201cWild Flower\u201d and \u201cLil\u2019 Devil\u201d) \u201cswaggers, crunches and howls.\u201d Most recently, The Cult released Under the Midnight Sun<\/em>. Mojo<\/em>, in a review of the eight-song album, <\/em>said \u201crock\u2019s unquenchable melodramatists have the fire in their eyes still.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
