The Cult: la band annuncia la Sonic Temple 30th Anniversary reissue

02 Luglio 2019 3 Commenti Massimiliano MaxAor Carli

Il 2019 segna il 30° Anniversario dello storico album dei The Cult, Sonic Temple; per celebrare l’occasione, Beggars Arkive pubblicherà The Cult: Sonic Temple 30 il prossimo 13 Settembre come come cofanetto Deluxe e come set di 5 CD, oltre ad un doppio LP, fuori stampa da oltre 20 anni. Tutti i set contengono demo a rilascio limitato, oltre a brani precedentemente mai pubblicati. Sotto, tutti i dettagli formato per formato.

Originariamente rilasciato nel 1989, Sonic Temple dimostrò di essere un momento cruciale sia per il gruppo che per l’intera scena Rock. Prodotto dal leggendario Bob Rock, il disco ebbe quattro singoli in classifica: Fire Woman, Edie (Ciao Baby), Sun King e Sweet Soul Sister.

In una recente intervista sull’album, Ian Astbury ha spiegato come la band abbia riunito l’Hard Rock e l’Indie Rock per creare suoni unici e rivoluzionari: “Volevamo conservare il nostro DNA principale mentre approfondivamo le influenze Psych e Hard Rock. Per me è stata un’immersione completa nell’arte, nel film, nella musica, nella poesia e nella letteratura. Stavamo diventando più popolari, eravamo in acque inesplorate, la maggior parte delle band che avevamo creato avevano fallito o si erano sciolte. Stavamo accelerando. Non c’era tempo reale per respirare. Stavamo formando nuove alleanze e rompendo l’etichetta di indie outsider”.

L’album catapultò The Cult in uno stato di superstar e rimane ad oggi la loro release di maggior successo commerciale, avendo venduto oltre 1,5 milioni di copie solo negli Stati Uniti ed essendo stata certificata disco di platino nel 1990. Arrivò al #10 nelle classifiche di Billboard e le canzoni di cui sopra restano ancor oggi dei grandi successi radiofonici.
