Today, The Cult have
unveiled a haunting still from their upcoming film clip for the track, "Honey
From A Knife," which appears on the band's critically
acclaimed new album Choice Of Weapon. The "Honey
From A Knife" film clip will premiere on VEVO on August 23 rd and The
Cult will be revealing a special trailer further teasing the
dynamic clip on their facebook page over the next few
days.
Shot in New York City by Rick Rogers (Prelude To Ruins)
in a highly cinematic style, lead singer Ian Astbury says
the new clip reveals a "desperate descent into a
fractured psyche," and the "Honey From A Knife" song
title was inspired by the Buddhist precept:
"Wealth and beauty, to a man who will not
relinquish them, are like a knife covered with honey which, even before he
has had the pleasure of eating the honey, cuts the tongue of the child that
licks it".
The song, rooted in the seductiveness of addiction, has
been singled out in numerous media reviews for its raw energy.
Of many positive live reviews The Hollywood
Reporter observed the band's live performance in New York City as
having "returned with a vengeance" and referred to Astbury
as "a menacing tyrant of cool".
Choice of Weapon was released in
North America on May 22 and debuted at #15 on Canada's Current Album
Charts, and #2 on both the Indie Chart and the Hard Chart.The Cult -
vocalist Ian Astbury, guitarist Billy Duffy, bassist Chris Wyse, and
drummer John Tempesta recorded Choice of Weapon in
New York City, Los Angeles, the California high desert and the band's Witch
Mountain studio.
