Starry Wisdom Cult

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Starry Wisdom Cult are a four-piece, guitar-based rock/metal band with stoner rock influences. The band are based around Edinburgh, Perth and Fife, Scotland.

[edit] History and inspiriation

The band's name is derived from one of the Cthulhu Mythos cults. Unlike many bands who have drawn names from this source, their music is aimed at a wide-ranging audience and their lyrics do not incorporate themes from the Cthulhu mythos.

The band was initially formed in the late 1990s, taking inspiration from bands such as Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Hawkwind and Metallica.

[edit] Success

The Starry Wisdom Cult have recorded three self-financed CDs and aim to record and release a complete album in 2006/07.

The band have been played on Fresh FM Radio a number of times and Radio Scotland's Air show, as well as featuring in a battle of the bands style vote on Radio Scotland's website with good results.

The Starry Wisdom Cult have played many many gigs around central Scotland. They have also played at the Edinburgh Meadows Festival twice, in 2002 and 2004
