The first incarnation of the goth punks and later metal heroes known as <a href="spotify:artist:49DW3KvkyjHO35mK1JnSyS">the Cult</a>, Southern Death Cult formed in late 1982 near Leeds. Led by <a href="spotify:artist:6NeSLvSvSDdcPAFOrZXt5N">Ian Lindsay</a> (later <a href="spotify:artist:6NeSLvSvSDdcPAFOrZXt5N">Astbury</a>), and including guitarist David Burrows, bassist Barry Jepson, and drummer Haq Quereshi, the group became a big name in goth rock early in their existence, and released their first single Moya/Fatman in December 1982. Early the following year, Southern Death Cult toured with <a href="spotify:artist:5N5tQ9Dx1h8Od7aRmGj7Fi">Bauhaus</a> -- on what turned out to be the goth kings' farewell tour -- but then abruptly disbanded. <a href="spotify:artist:6NeSLvSvSDdcPAFOrZXt5N">Astbury</a> moved on to <a href="spotify:artist:4ZJBALfMvBV9v9FhEPrBPh">Death Cult</a> (and later, <a href="spotify:artist:49DW3KvkyjHO35mK1JnSyS">the Cult</a>) while <a href="spotify:artist:2S3b6uIOzRfKJFdYsjogLJ">Burrows</a>, Jepson, and Quereshi became Getting the Fear (later <a href="spotify:artist:26GWL1LYvXUESZBuoyS31z">Into a Circle</a>). Beggars Banquet compiled several sessions and outtakes onto a self-titled album, which was released in 1983 and finally issued in the U.S. almost 15 years later. ~ John Bush, Rovi
