The Cult are back: download a new song

The Cult are back and they have a new album on the way; and according to Ian Astbury it will be "one of the strongest records we've ever made".

"Choice of Weapon" - that's the title - is coming out on May, 22 and is the quartet's first new studio album in five years. It was recorded since August, and in two distinct phases. The group first worked with producer Chris Goss (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, U.N.K.L.E.), starting off in what Astbury describes as "a raw, visceral space" before all concerned "kind of exhausted ourselves." The Cult then went to Bob Rock, who produced 1989's platinum "Sonic Temple," for "a fresh set of ears" and a "more refined" and polished sound.

"Choice of Weapon" will be preceded by the first single called "For The Animals". But, in the meantime, the band decided to give away for free the song "Lucifer", that can be downloaded from The Cult's official website.
