DEATH CULT - Paradise Now LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition crystal clear vinyl with white and black splatter.
Southern Death Cult formed in 1981, releasing their sole, self-titled album posthumously in 1983. That same year, Death Cult formed, with Astbury joining forces with Duffy for a musical partnership that has endured for 40-plus years. The band released two 12”s that same year, one being the ‘Death Cult’ EP, which were subsequently combined and released as a CD. ‘Death Cult’ is a vital transmission from the generation of Shamanic post-punk gothic futurists.
In late 2023, Astbury and Duffy reformed Death Cult for a series of live performances, including a sole US date at The Theatre at The Ace Hotel in Los Angeles and a limited run of UK dates including back-to-back sold out shows at the Brixton Electric.
Death Cult became The Cult in 1984, releasing ‘Dreamtime’ that same year. The seminal post-punk band has gone on to sell in excess of four million albums with numerous international and US Gold and Platinum certifications.
