The Southern Death Cult was a gothic rock band in the early 1980s. It is now primarily known for having given its lead singer (Ian Astbury) and parts of its name to the multi-platinum hard rock band The Cult. Despite the similarities in the names, "Southern Death Cult" was distinct from "Death Cult which eventually became "The Cult".
The Southern Death Cult emerged from the ashes of the seminal Bradford punk band Violation. In place at that time were Aki Nawaz-drums, Barry Jepson-bass, Mick-guitar & Mick Brady-vocals. Read more on Last.fm
