With a downsized U.K. tour saddled with apparently poor ticket sales and the loss of Killing Joke as an opening act set to kick off next week, The Cult has just issued a new music video for “Honey From a Knife,” the opening track and second official single from the band’s current album, Choice of Weapon. The clip features a guy being chased by the horned beast that appears on the album’s cover; singer Ian Astbury explains that the video reveals a “desperate descent into a fractured psyche.”

Not the best choice for a single from this record, should have gone with “The Wolf”, that song is old school, bad ass Cult!
“The Wolf” is good, very “Sanctuary”-ish. I like this song too. Also, given these guys debuted in the top 30 on billboard at this point in their career, I think they’re holding up pretty well. Perhaps they got a little over ambitious with the larger venues, but they still sell out the smaller ones (at least in the states).
I think Jaz Coleman showed a huge lack of class to them and his own bandmates in KJ by his rant and disappearance. But his sanity is questionable at best.
I love both bands so that whole debacle is annoying.
