Ian Astbury is so much funnier than we imagined. The Cult, his mighty metal-crunching band with guitarist Billy Duffy, has just released Choice Of Weapon (Cooking Vinyl), the newest and best Cult album since 1994’s The Cult. In our Q&A with him, Astbury takes down those who make themselves authoritarian without merit—music journalists, politicians—in a fashion similar to his highly personal lyrical outlook on Weapon. He is guest editing magnetmagazinecom all week with the same candor.
Astbury: This hooked me in from episode one. Beautifully filmed and acted; real craft and soul have gone into this dark, compelling tale of a young girl’s murder in Seattle. Every turn pulled me in deeper. I am currently watching the second season.
