The Cult began their journey in 1981 when Ian Astbury formed Southern Death Cult in Bradford. After the dissolution of Southern Death Cult in March 1983, Astbury teamed with guitarist Billy Duffy to form Death Cult in April 1983, enlisting bassist Jamie Stewart and drummer Ray “Mondo” Taylor-Smith from the London-based band Ritual to complete their initial lineup. The band made their live debut in Oslo, Norway in July 1983 and released their self-titled Death Cult EP the same month. Following the dismissal of Mondo in September 1983 and his replacement with Nigel Preston from Sex Gang Children, the group The post Complete List Of The Cult Band Members appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.
