THE CULT: Broken Up?

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

On September 24, 1991—35 years ago— The Cult released their fifth studio album, titled “Ceremony.” Did you already know these 5 facts?

★ “Ceremony” reflects a period of great turmoil within the band: Bassist Jamie Stewart had left the band before the recording sessions began.

★ The relationship between singer Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy was also at a low point.

★ They say they recorded their parts separately at different times.

★ That didn’t detract from the album’s quality, though: In the U.S., it reached No. 25 on the charts.

★ It achieved gold status in the United Kingdom.
