The ever-evolving band, The Cult, started out across the pond in 1983 in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. Performing under the name Death Cult, which itself was an evolution of the name of lead singer Ian Astbury's previous band, Southern Death Cult. The band has also undergone several changes to its lineup, and musical direction since its forming, with its two founding members, singer, songwriter Ian Astbury and lead guitarist Brian Duffy, becoming the only members to see it all through.

The Cult saw huge success with their first two albums in the UK music scene, but it was their third album, Electric, in 1987, that launched them to new heights of success, peaking at number 4 in the UK and charting highly in other territories, it spawned the hit singles "Love Removal Machine", "Lil' Devil" and "Wild Flower".

After moving to Los Angeles, California, where the band has been based for the remainder of their career, the Cult continued the musical experimentation of Electric with its follow-up album, Sonic Temple, in 1989.
