In 2023, Death Cult made a comeback for a few shows. To mark The Cult's 40th anniversary in 2024, Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy curated the previously - released Death Cult collection Ghost Dance and recompiled it into a new release named Paradise Now. This special edition comes on crystal - clear vinyl with a striking black and white splatter pattern. Southern Death Cult was formed in 1981, and their self - titled album was released posthumously in 1983. The same year, Death Cult was born, starting a 40 - plus - year musical partnership between Astbury and Duffy. They released two 12 - inches, later combined into a CD. Death Cult represents the shamanic post - punk gothic futurist generation. In late 2023, Astbury and Duffy reformed the band for live shows in the US and UK. Death Cult evolved into The Cult in 1984, releasing Dreamtime. This iconic post - punk band has sold over four million albums with many international and US gold and platinum certifications. Astbury and Duffy have released 11 studio albums in The Cult's 40 - year journey. They gained international fame with the 1985 album Love, featuring the classic 'She Sells Sanctuary' and 'Rain'.
