Electric

Description

Formed in 1982 by Ian Astbury, the Southern Death Cult, a gothic rock band, abandons the genre and becomes the Death Cult in 1983, which itself transforms into The Cult in 1984. From this mix of names, two great rock albums will still emerge: Love, a superb psychedelic hard rock record released in 1985, and Electric, the third album by The Cult, pure joy of timeless heavy metal, produced by Rick Rubin (head of the rap label Def Jam) around a blazing guitarist (Billy Duffy). A hit "Love Removal Machine" (it sounds like "Start Me Up" by the Stones caught in an electric storm) and ten impeccable tracks (except for a cover of "Born To Be Wild" as light as a bulldozer race). In the end, a great record. The last of the Cult, whatever its name.
