The Cult has announced they will be releasing a 'prequel' to accompany their latest critically record, Choice Of Weapon. A free download of the track Twisted And Bleeding is available at thecult.us.

The digital-only release Weapon Of Choice reveals the songs at a stage of development that will be of interest to The Cult's fans and followers. Weapon Of Choice is a document of a work in progress and offers a unique opportunity to hear The Cult's process. The material has not been previously released, and will be available exclusively on iTunes for two months only beginning Rocktober 16th, 2012.

The dynamic ten tracks that comprise Weapon Of Choice were recorded when The Cult returned to the studio in 2011 with producer Chris Goss. The songs were conceived in New York, Los Angeles, the California desert and the band's Witch Mountain studio.
