2019 marks the 30th anniversary of The Cult's seminal album SONIC TEMPLE. On September 13th, Beggars Arkive will reissue the album. Now cut onto two pieces of black vinyl, the audio is improved and contains 16 tracks total, which comprise the original album plus 6 B-sides. In addition to the reissue, a box set and 5-CD set are also being released. Originally released in 1989, Sonic Temple proved to be a pivotal moment for both band and the wider rock scene. Produced by the legendary Bob Rock, Sonic Temple had four chart-topping singles; "Fire Woman", "Edie (Ciao Baby)", "Sun King" and "Sweet Soul Sister". In a recent interview about the album, Ian Astbury explained how the band brought together hard rock and indie rock to create the unique, game-changing sounds on Sonic Temple. "We wanted to retain our core DNA as we went deeper into psych and hard rock influences. It was a complete immersion for me into art, film, music, poetry and literature, weaving those influences into what was to become Sonic Temple. The band was becoming more popular. We were in uncharted waters. Most of the bands we had come up with had split up or fallen off. We were accelerating. There was no real time to breathe. We were forming new allegiances and breaking the glass ceiling of 'the indie outsider.'" The album catapulted The Cult into superstar status and remains their most commercially successful release. It has sold over 1.5 million copies in the US alone, and was declared platinum in 1990. It made it to #10 on the Billboard charts, and the above mentioned songs are all rock-radio staples to this day. The Cult continues to record and tour and they have released six albums since Sonic Temple, the most recent being Hidden City in 2016. They've been spending 2019 celebrating this album by performing all over the world on a tour they've billed as A Sonic Temple, paying homage to the album.
The "Sonic Temple - 30th Anniversary Edition" LP by The Cult is a lavish reissue of the band's iconic fourth studio album, originally released in 1989. This special edition celebrates three decades of one of rock's most influential records, featuring remastered audio that brings new life to classic tracks like "Fire Woman," "Edie (Ciao Baby)," and "Sun King." Housed in deluxe packaging with exclusive liner notes and rare photos, this release is a must-have for collectors and fans alike. The Cult, formed in the early 1980s by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy, rose to fame with their blend of post-punk energy and hard rock swagger. Their chart-topping albums such as "Love" and hits like "She Sells Sanctuary" cemented their place among Britain's greatest rock acts. Released by Beggars Banquet/Beggars G/Indigo?renowned labels known for championing groundbreaking artists across genres?this anniversary edition underscores both the enduring legacy of The Cult and the label?s commitment to quality music releases.
