The Cult – Ceremony (CD, 1991, Sire / Reprise Records / Beggars Banquet 9 26673-2, US SRC)

Why This CD Matters
Ceremony is the Cult's fifth studio album, continuing the band's transition from its post-punk roots toward a heavier rock sound built around Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy. The album includes “Wild Hearted Son,” “Heart Of Soul,” and the expansive title track. Produced by Richie Zito, Ceremony followed the band's commercially successful Electric and Sonic Temple albums while retaining the guitar-driven approach of that period.
