In 2023, Death Cult returned and reunited for a handful of performances. In 2024, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Cult, Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy have curated the previously released Death Cult collection, ‘Ghost Dance’, and re-compiled the tracks for a 2024 release titled ‘Paradise Now’.
 
Southern Death Cult formed in 1981, releasing their sole, self- titled album posthumously in 1983. That same year, Death Cult formed, with Astbury joining forces with Duffy for a musical partnership that has endured for 40-plus years. The band released two 12”s that same year, one being the ‘Death Cult’ EP, which were subsequently combined and released as a CD. ‘Death Cult’ is a vital transmission from the generation of Shamanic post-punk gothic futurists.
 
Death Cult became The Cult in 1984, releasing ‘Dreamtime’ that same year. The seminal post-punk band has gone on to sell in excess of four million albums with numerous international and US Gold and Platinum certifications.
