The Cult To Release New Prequel Effort

Posted by Chris Harris on September 28, 2012 in Huh?, News, Why?

What do you do when you’ve just released a new album worth of new material? You release a prequel album to that very album a few months later.

Doesn’t that make sense?

The Cult will release a “prequel” to the band’s latest album, Choice Of Weapon, next month.

The digital-only release — called Weapon Of Choice — provides fans with “the songs at a stage of development that will be of interest to The Cult’s fans and followers,” a press release says.

“Weapon Of Choice is a document of a work in progress and offers a unique opportunity to hear The Cult’s process,” the release says.

The material has not been previously released, and will be available exclusively on iTunes for two months only beginning October 16.

“These songs were turned over and over, forged in long rehearsals and writing sessions, and emanated from challenges both personal and professional,” says lead vocalist Ian Astbury.
