The Cult released "Give Me Mercy", the first single of their upcoming album "Under The Midnight Sun", that will be out next October 7. The official video for the track shows the two original members of the band Ian Astbury (Vocals) and Billy Duffy (Guitar). Besides the two, the band also has John Tempesta (Drums), Grant Fitzpatrick (Bass) and Damon Fox (Keyboards). In an official statement, Astbury talked abou the new record, saying: "I was absolutely enamored with this piece of music Billy had written, and it perfectly fit these thoughts I'd been having about our culture's need to move past assumptions of duality. We need new language because words can't express where we're going." Duffy also commented, saying: "'Give Me Mercy' has all the hallmarks of the new classic Cult to my ears … fresh yet familiar."

Their most famous albums are “Love” (1985), “Electric” (1987), “Sonic Temple” (1989) and “Ceremony” (1991). Besides his work with The Cult, singer Ian Astbury was also part of the project The Doors of the 21st Century from 2002 to 2007, a project to revive The Doors with the two original members Ray Manzarek (Keyboards) and Robby Krieger (Guitar).
