Death Cult (EP)

Death Cult (EP)

The Death Cult compact disc is a compilation released in 1988, which collects the only single and only EP by the post-punk band that later became The Cult. These two recordings were issued separately in 1983 under the band's original name, "Death Cult". "Ghost Dance" is inspired by the writings and teachings of Wovoka, and the lyrics to "Horse Nation" are taken almost verbatim from the book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.

Famous quotes containing the words death and/or cult:

    Now they heap the funeral pyre,
    And the torch of death they light;
    Ah! ‘tis hard to die by fire!
    William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)

    By Modernism I mean the positive rejection of the past and the blind belief in the process of change, in novelty for its own sake, in the idea that progress through time equates with cultural progress; in the cult of individuality, originality and self-expression.
    Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)
