“Electric”, the third album by The Cult, was released in 1987 and propelled the band to new fame. It contains the big hits “Love Removal Machine”, Wild Flower” and ‘Lil’ Devil’ and was produced by Rick Rubin. The album is a seminal work and contains some of the band’s most iconic songs. It differs from the band’s earlier works with a raw, aggressive and stripped down sound. The opening track ‘Wild Flower’ sets the tone with its pounding drums, fast-paced guitar riffs and powerful vocals from Ian Astbury.

Electric was a commercial and critical success, catapulting The Cult to the forefront of the hard rock scene and cementing their status as one of the most influential bands of the time. The album remains a touchstone for hard rock and heavy metal fans, a classic work that captures the spirit of rebellion and the power of rock’n’roll.

Ian and Billy recently announced the return of Death Cult. Death Cult became The Cult in 1984, releasing “Dreamtime” that same year and going on to release 11 full-length albums and earn numerous international and US gold and platinum awards throughout their career.
