THE CULT Debut 'Honey From A Knife' Video
August 23, 2012, 12 years ago
Currently on the second leg of their North American tour in support of new album, Choice Of Weapon, THE CULT has released the video for 'Honey From A Knife'. Directed by Rick Rodgers and produced by The Cult's Ian Astbury and NYC based film company Mechanizedmules, the clip was shot on location in the Washington Heights nieghborhood of Manhattan on a RED Scarlet camera with Super Speed lenses provided by ARRI.
'Honey From A Knife', rooted in the seductiveness of addiction, was inspired by the following Buddhist precept, and Ian Astbury states that the accompanying film reveals a "desperate descent into a fractured psyche":
"Wealth and beauty, to a man who will not relinquish them, are like a knife covered with honey which, even before he has had the pleasure of eating the honey, cuts the tongue of the child that licks it".
