THE CULT's New Album Has A 'ZEP/STOOGES Mix Of Energy,' Says Bassist

October 20, 2011

In a recent interview with ViperRoom.com, THE CULT bassist Chris Wyse stated about the status of the band's long-awaited ninth album, "The new THE CULT deal is with [the] Cooking Vinyl [label]. We're in good company with THE PRODIGY and MARILYN MANSON. The record is nearly done; Ian [Astbury] is probably doing vocals right now. It is due out April 2012!! This record is kind of a ZEP/STOOGES mix of energy, and I believe showcases a new level of depth for THE CULT."

THE CULT's new album is once again being produced by Chris Goss, frontman of MASTERS OF REALITY and producer on various QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE releases.

THE CULT's "Capsule 2: New Blood Deep Cuts" featured new songs "Embers" and "Until The Light Takes Us", live recordings of some of the band's huge hits and an intimate look into THE CULT's rehearsal space, with a never-before-seen warm-up performance of "Black Angel".

Rather than revisit the traditional method of releasing a long form CD, the band pioneered a new way of providing material. Capsules span multiple media formats including vinyl, digital, USB, CD and DVD formats, and can be purchased at CultCapsuleStore.com.

THE CULT is Ian Astbury (vocals),Billy Duffy (guitar),Chris Wyse (bass),John Tempesta (drums) and Mike Dimkich (rhythm guitar).
