Review

One of the finest British rock acts to have enjoyed worldwide success over the last few decades, THE CULT have wrapped up recording "Choice of Weapon", the group's first studio album in five years. The ten tracks here reveal the band at their rawest and most visceral, encapsulating cinematic visions and themes of love, revolt, and redemption.

"Choice of Weapon" is the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed 2007 release "Born into This" that the UK's Mojo magazine called "a wholehearted, utopian and irrefutably exciting record." Long-time Cult collaborator and producer Bob Rock (METALLICA, BUSH) - who produced one of THE CULT's most successful albums, the platinum-certified "Sonic Temple" - put the finishing touches on the foundations that were laid by co-producer Chris Goss (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, U.N.K.L.E., MASTERS OF REALITY).

The new release features founding members Astbury on vocals and Duffy on guitars, with drummer John Tempesta and bassist Chris Wyse. "We have had the opportunity to work with two of the most influential and talented producers in the world today", said Astbury. "They pushed us beyond our comfort zone, and helped us craft 'Choice of Weapon'."

The album is aimed at the heart of THE CULT's loyal following. It reflects the current discontent and destruction of our eco systems, the search for individual meaning against a tide of rampant materialism, narcissism and disconnected lives. "We went deeper . . . we worked a bit harder on this record. We have great fans and they deserve our best", added Duffy, "and I feel this is as strong as any album we have ever released."
