NEW
ALBUM CHOICE OF WEAPON OUT
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 are currently on tour in Canada before
continuing on to Europe for dates in the UK, France,
Netherlands and Germany. Full tour dates are below.
