the guitare riff is awesome!!! the song is pure energy!!! and he sings like a god our Ian!!!! Billy is the guitarist! The problem is to wait the album!!!!!!!!!!!

I listened to the Cult when I was in High school 30 years ago and just heard these new music and it's good.

Bluesy, hard, Ian's voice was made for rock and roll tunes like this. And yes, it WILL be killer live. Another great SOLID ROCK AND ROLL album is coming, no one does the in-your-face music like this anymore. Looking forward to the album.

Still listening to this masterpiece in 2021. Fantastic...

Shadows of the cults entire career scattered throughout this little gem. looking forward to the new album.

How anyone who even pretends to like the Cult couldn't instantly like this baffles me. It pure cult simple as that! The Album reminds me of Love and Holly Barbarians. Astburys voice is pure coffee gravel silk as ever. He is a total one off

The Cult...come back!!

5 years of this fantastic album

Good solid cult song with no suprises, this could have come off any cult album of last 20 years.

Every Soul Alive ...Burns Bright ...In This Life. Baby, Come To Life ...

To those saying that the first time you hear it you don't like it and it grows on you.... that's kind of how Bob Rock works. Listen to Hooligan's Holiday by Motley Crue. Took me a few listens to appreciate it but I absolutely love that song now. It's a better album than the one before it but still very good.

Powerfull song guys, amazing delay Duffy!! ..old Cult again!!

Oh Yeah! Raw, growly, soulful... roll on Feb!

just when i thought i was out The Cult 'pulled me back in'

Great! Nice to hear a song that sounds like a band and not a lead singer with a group somewhere in the distance!

This is amazing, absolutely loving this

By far, the best birthday's gift I have ever received in my whole life!!

Pure Cult ,love it, CFFC !

pure cult. No question. Goes deep into the vein. Love it.

I get this! Nice follow-on from the excellent CHOICE OF WEAPON (2012). The Cult finally have a cohesive, consistent team approach and these former pop stars are doing surprising work into their later career. WEAPON is a deep album in a lot of ways, with some of the usual puttering around and experimenting that The Cult do anyway as well. I consider it a very worthy choice (2 disc version). These guys are doing music for music now instead of trying to make an impression in the media (based on some interviews with Ian & still more what I'm hearing in the sound.)

Brilliant. See you in Seattle!

Los rockeros The Cult siguen incombustibles con su duro sonido lleno de decibelios. En este nuevo álbum que anuncian publicarán el 5 de febrero de 2016 han decidido adentrarse en sendas espirituales. "Hidden City" será el décimo álbum de estudio de la banda de rock británica, dicen que una metáfora de las "vidas espirituales e íntimas" de los miembros de la formación, según ha explicado en un comunicado el vocalista, Ian Astbury. En la nota, emitida por la compañía discográfica Cooking Vinyl, se explica que el disco conduce al público hacia la oscuridad desde la primera canción, "Dark Energy". El nuevo disco cierra la trilogía compuesta por sus anteriores grabaciones "Born Into This" (2007) y "Choice of Weapon" (2012), en la que se recogen temas como la redención y el renacimiento. La mayor parte de las nuevas canciones han sido escritas por Astbury junto al guitarrista de la banda, Billy Duffy, el resto de los componentes de The Cult son en la actualidad John Tempesta (batería), Grant Fitzpatrick (bajo) y Damon Fox (teclado). Música independiente novedades.

So happy to hear anything these guys create. CFFC !

First time I heard it, I thought... "Meh." And I'm a huge fan - second time I heard it, thought it was just OK, 3rd and 4th time starts to grow on you, but the music overpowers Ian's voice - usually Duffy/Astbury are at their best when Billy's guitar and Ian's voice blend together to form a unique sounding instrument which is the essence of the Cult. I feel that's missing here, I don't think it's bad, but I don't think it's all that memorable either... Curious and hopeful about the rest of the new album...

I miss this troubled Astbury guy FUCKING RAGING deep down from his heart and soul... Way too polished now.

NOW THATS ROCK N ROLL.

meravigliosa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah!

Que buenos son estos tíos

Still good 2c the old 'rockers' r still going !! Keep on going guys.

I like it.

I'm glad ON.

Nice.

YES!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!

It is a sad day. I never thought I'd say this. As a lifelong Cult devotee, the latest offering which undoubtedly took long hours of blood, sweat and tears is yet again a mediocre 'rock' type mish-mash of forgetfulness. I may be old, but how I yearn to hear Ian's distinctive voice, clarity of lyrics along with words that actually mean something. Perhaps the world has moved on? Who can forget the evocative and iconic Wolf Child's Blues, IF and Star among many many others. This long awaited CD will be consigned to the dustbin of rock anonymity. The likes of She Sells Sanctuary are long gone and will never be repeated......but please, please find your original enthusiasm and be different once again.Thanks to Darren Brown of Ballyclare High School for introducing me to the real music of The Cult & The Damned. I am forever grateful.Chris

Sound like The Cult are doing a Bond song.

it raw and feels unfinished. maybe if it was mixed in dublin . . . i do like the upbeat tempo. I agree with Darren Miles, the guitar isn't as bright as it could be. but who can complain. I'm very fortunate that my favorite band of all time is still putting out fresh new tunes that are consistently relevant. 30 years of great music. Thank you Cult!

Great song!

I heard this in the car and now i'm home I'm going to get it on my new friggin enormous sounding stereo I bought and push the volume. I blew the tweeter up after a week , $400 dollar repair .YAMAHA wouldn't touch it

Desperately same 'ol The Cult.

Doesn't sound like its mixed correctly. My #1 band of all time, but I wonder if its not time to call it quits. I hope this album proves me wrong. Long live the CULT.

Agreed...and agreed...Darren. I LOVE the band...and many different period's of it. Truth is...sorry friends...the self titled disc and "Born", in my opinion...are barely even "memorable" records from a "writing" standpoint. I Love the first three discs...and have always thought "B.G.E" was a VERY UNDERRATED disc. Ok new tune though...can;t wait to hear more!

Awesome.!

Well, I don't think this song has peaked at all. I just find a bit of mystique in the chorus - guitar chords and voice melody- that's it. Not really sure if they chose this song as single as they might have record company like a pain in the ass - but guess I'm gonna have to wait till february to find out if the record holds the kinda power Cult's always delivered thru years. Again, 'bout this song: You can get used to it if you hear it more and more, but we all know when something peaks or not, don't we?

Fuck me!.. this is a good track.

Ha ha the Bull fighting is epic visuals....u can modernizes it w Sea World "Killer Whale Trainers"...Deep shit great tune again rep'n the sign of the Timez!!

for me always the best ( by Italia )

I've not understood the video at all... could someone explain it please? The Cult! lml

Tevez Approves

I feel this is a good root instruction for any guitarist...the album should be ok

I like it. It's no Love or Sonic Temple but the rest of the album sounds like it's going to be better than Choice of Weapon.

Lions dont worry about sheep. CFFC \m/

I thought the Capsules they released sounded like what the Cult should sound like.

Ok, the song rocks but why the video is about Spanish Bulls Tradition? D:

Hi Kelly, your message is interesting, obrigado! I wouldn't normally write a negative comment and least of all about a band I've loved since I was a kid... but sometimes you can't divorce politics from aesthetics and this video appalled me. I'll probably buy the album, I'll never stop wearing my Sonic Temple t-shirt, but I cannot 'just ignore' this glorification of such a vicious, petty travesty as bull 'fighting.' The hell with that.

When will Cult fans admit that they heard Electric and because that one album was so mind blowing that the fans emotionally bonded with the band, but the band never lived up to the myth. It's because Electric was partly The Cult, but a whole lot due to the producer. Every new album we think, "This is it. They're going to blow our minds." but they never do.
