Product Overview
Death Cult - Paradise Now (Crystal clear with black & white splatter Vinyl Vinyl)
In 2023, Death Cult returned and reunited for a handful of performances. In 2024, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The
Cult, Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy have curated the previously released Death Cult collection, ‘Ghost Dance’, and re-compiled
the tracks for a 2024 release titled ‘Paradise Now’.
Southern Death Cult formed in 1981, releasing their sole, selftitled 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.
