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:
“My death from the wrists,
two name tags,
blood worn like a corsage
to bloom
one on the left and one on the right....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Look at this poet William Carlos Williams: he is primitive and native, and his roots are in raw forest and violent places; he is word-sick and place-crazy. He admires strength, but for what? Violence! This is the cult of the frontier mind.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
