Mainstays Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy are supported by a drummer, bassist and a second guitarist, different from ones who played on their last record from 2016. Not very prolific, this is their sixth release in the last 35 years. I played the first side once upon purchasing it and thought it sounded good. Now after listening to both sides It sounds even better. Relly liked &#8220;Vendetta X&#8221;, &#8220;Give Me Mercey&#8221; and &#8220;Under The Midnight Sun&#8221;. Astbury&#8217;s somewhat Jim Morrison sounding vocals are still strong and Duffy&#8217;s guitar still rocks. Another one I want to listen to again. In 2023 they played a short U.K. tour as Death Cult 8323 playing music from their early 80&#8217;s bands Southern Death Cult and Death Cult that had a more Gothic sound. Ian Astbury says they are working on a new album possibly released in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Album number 11 from 2022.
