The Cult - Northern Man (The Witch)

Taken from the Ceremony sessions, 1991. It was rough mixed on 14th May, and again on 31st May - still lyrically incomplete, the track was dropped from the Ceremony album. It later resurfaced as 'The Witch'

Dreamtime

Simply sensational version of this song. Perhaps even the best :).

[@DebraNormand]

I like this version much better. Thanks for sharing.

[@sgrate]

The Witch is my favorite song of the Cult

[@Will-sh8kl]

That's a great Cult song. First time hearing this version. Very interesting.

[@mick62mick]

LOVE THE CULT!

[@EMBAR1973]

This is pretty cool, I didn't know about this alternate take on the song. Although this does sound great and should have made it on Ceremony, I think that "The Witch" remains a wicked song after all these years. It's an absolute warhorse of their live shows.

Jim- you make incredibly good videos- Hat's off to you, my friend. LadyK

[@johnking3341]

Hard to say which I like better. Northern Man or The Witch. Both are killer songs. Although Billy's playing and Ian's vocals really stand out in Northern Man vs. The Witch.

Awesome Band!

haha new headphones got my nose bleeding ,,,,,sweet

[@supernaut72]

Holy shit this is awesome! I wish this is what Ceremony album sounded like. What a disappointment that album was when it came out.

[@seaofshe]

BIG FUZZY HAT FTW, IAN!

[@codge2112]

Love the guitar ,sure i like this better than the witch its gritty and has more depth and attitude.

[@philphilly4777]

A version of The Witch.Is also on Ian's solo album.If you didn't know ?

[@alienbishop]

yes there is some similarity, and you cant say which one is better

[@seaofshe]

Big fuzzy hat FTW, Ian!

[@erickallan78]

naaah...it kinda has a bit of a distant echo of it, but not really...I'm just glad they got together with Rubin to work this tune out, as the final track "The Witch" is a masterpiece, total Cult classic...but this version is interesting, though...

[@ttgarage71]

❤🤘

[@nunoreis4090]

Lighter version but still cool! Great Sound!

[@cloudbuster77]

[@WavelengthRose]

[@ricardocunha5590]

👏😍

[@doloresloli6570]

MOLAN CANTIDAD

[@anicic]

is it me or does this song sound very similar to the guns n roses song Locomotive?

[@alienbishop]

Yep, maybe you are right, but "Locomotive" is better than "theWitch"

[@marceloclemente7419]

One of the worst cult's album.

[@cmikesmith664]

Why?

[@janiceherbon4090]

Awesome Band!
