The Cult Prepare For 'Hidden City' And US Tour

The Cult will release the tenth studio album of their 31 year recording career on February 5 with Hidden City.

The album is the third and final installment in a trilogy that has also included 2007’s Born Into This and 2012’s Choice of Weapon and is the first album since 1994 that does not include bassist Chris Wyse who has been replaced by Grant Fitzpatrick.

Ian Astbury previously said of the album “Hidden City is a metaphor for our spiritual lives, our intimate interior lives. I find today’s gurus are trying to peddle some cure, product or insight as if it’s a new phenomenon. My place is to respond, not react, to observe, participate and share through words and music. There is no higher authority than the heart.”
