 The Cult... but why?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Because the Cult are a damn good band, largely unknown in the mainstream.
Other Cult members will come and go: the Astbury-Duffy pairing always has been and always will be at the heart of what the Cult is about, and the music they write together always works.
The combination of supporting Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes during some of their tour dates, performing the opening track on the Gone in 60 Seconds soundtrack, and the unmistakable She Sells Sanctuary riff being used in a car commercial are giving the band sudden wide exposure, possibly wider than ever before.

 Dimmu Borgir - Death Cult Armageddon - review @ Tartareandesire.com
"Death Cult Armageddon" was without a doubt one of the most highly anticipated metal releases of 2003 and I was one of those who were awaiting this album with tense curiosity.
I would not have said no to an even heavier sound in a couple of songs, more aggressive vocals from Shagrath and perhaps more focus on creating memorable guitar riffs but compared to most other releases of the year "Death Cult Armageddon" is nothing less than audial art taken to perfection.
No matter what, "Death Cult Armageddon" is one of the best metal albums ever made and it would almost be a blasphemy not to buy it.

Death Cult collects material recorded by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy prior to their success as simply the Cult; many of the songs later appeared in dramatically different versions on the group's debut album, Dreamtime.
With the exception of two previously unreleased new songs, "In the Clouds" and "Beauty's on the Street," plus a couple of tweaks here and there, High Octane Cult is virtually identical to the previously import-only collection, Pure Cult, (released in 1993 and re-released stateside in 2000 with a slightly altered track listing).
A strange phenomenon with anthemic hard rock bands is that when they begin to mature and branch out into new musical genres, they nearly always choose to embrace both the music and spirituality of the East and India, and Pearl Jam is no exception.

Singer Ian Astbury, having grown disinterested in the music of the Southern Death CUlt, formed the band with guitarist Billy Duffy (then part of a group called Theatre of Hate) and recruited guitarist-turned-bassist Jamie Stewart and drummer Ray Mondo.
The BBC sessions are a bit of a curiosity-- remarkably Astbury sounds a bit like he's not quite as confident as he is on the studio material, although Southern Death Cult piece "A Flower in the Desert" gets an intriguing and powerful reading, with Duffy the sole accompaniment for Astbury (and on acoustic guitar).
In my opinion, the (Southern) (Death) Cult at their most energetic, creative and politically charged peak.
