Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Bob Rock, 'Sonic Temple' is the definitive, stadium-conquering zenith of The Cult's transition from gothic post-punk to arena hard rock. The album delivers massive, incredibly energetic guitar riffs and triumphant, melodic anthems dripping with rock and roll hedonism.
