From Loudersound.
The Cult will release a deluxe 30th anniversary box set of their 1989 album Sonic Temple.
The box set includes three vinyl LPs plus a cassette, featuring previously unreleased tracks, demo versions and a show recorded live at Wembley Arena, plus replica laminate, backstage pass, original press releases and more. It will be limited to 3000 copies, with each box set numbered.
The reissue will also be available as a 5-CD box set plus double vinyl LP, both containing unreleased and demo tracks.
“We wanted to retain our core DNA as we went deeper into psych and hard rock influences,” says Ian Astbury of the band’s transformation from post-punks ito full blown stadium rockers with Sonic Temple. ”It was a complete immersion for me into art, film, music, poetry and literature, weaving those influences into what was to become Sonic Temple.
“The band was becoming more popular. We were in uncharted waters. Most of the bands we had come up with had split up or fallen off. We were accelerating. There was no real time to breathe. We were forming new allegiances and breaking the glass ceiling of ‘the indie outsider.”
In addition to the reissues, the band have announced a ten-date UK tour in October 2019, dubbed ST19. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 5 at 10.00am
