Watch THE CULT's NEW Music Video For "Honey From A Knife" Now!

The Cult premiere their NEW film clip for the track, "Honey From A Knife" on VEVO today. "Honey From A Knife" is the latest single from The Cult's critically acclaimed NEW album, 'Choice of Weapon'.
     
Directed by Rick Rodgers and produced by The Cult's Ian Astbury and NYC based film company Mechanizedmules, the "Honey From A Knife" film clip was shot on location in the Washington Heights nieghborhood of Manhattan on a RED Scarlet camera with Super Speed lenses provided by ARRI.  

"Honey From A Knife," rooted in the seductiveness of addiction, was inspired by the following Buddhist precept, and Ian Astbury states that the accompanying film reveals a "desperate descent into a fractured psyche": 

"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 CULT'S NEW Song "Honey From A Knife" Drops At Radio This Week!

"Honey From a Knife," the lead- off track from The Cult's critically-acclaimed NEW studio album 'Choice of Weapon', hits radio this week. The song, rooted in the seductiveness of addiction, has been singled out in numerous media reviews for its raw energy, sexual rhythms, Duffy's knife-edge guitars and Astbury's impassioned vocals, all woven around the song's mesmerizing chorus, "We got the drugs, the drugs in here."

HONEY FROM A KNIFE by THE_CULT

As one reviewer put it, "'Honey From a Knife' is pure rock and roll, as catchy as it is shocking."

"Honey From a Knife" will also be available as a ringtone via all carriers in the U.S beginning Tuesday, June 26.

'Choice of Weapon', released May 22, has received stellar press reviews, the consensus being that it is The Cult's best album in years. The UK's Mojo gave it a Five Star review, Entertainment Weekly tagged it with an A-, Magnet said it was "as epic and compelling as nearly anything in The Cult's catalogue," The UK's Q magazine called it "brilliant," the Phoenix New Times wrote "everything clicks," and MSN stated simply that it was "their best album in 20 years."

The Cult's recent live performances also created a stir with the Hollywood Reporter who observed the band live in New York as having "returned with a vengeance," and referring to Astbury as "a menacing tyrant of cool." The band - Ian Astbury/vocals, Billy Duffy/guitars, Chris Wyse/bass, John Tempesta/drums - completed its initial assault on the U.S.A. at the Los Angeles Palladium this past Saturday with alt/rockers Against Me! in support. The Cult heads to Europe later this week for a three-week tour of headlining dates and festivals where the band will share stages with Patti Smith, Garbage, Wolf Mother, and Jack White, among others.
