The song started as a demo named "Northern Man" and can be found on "Rare Cult" , remolded into "The Witch" , and used specifically for the "Real World" soundtrack. The Cult is an English rock band formed in 1983 in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Before settling on their current name in January 1984, the band performed under the name Death Cult, which was an evolution of the name of lead singer Ian Astbury's previous band Southern Death Cult. They gained a dedicated following in the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s as a post-punk/gothic rock band, with singles such as "She Sells Sanctuary", before breaking into the mainstream in the United States in the late 1980s establishing themselves as a hard rock band with singles such as "Love Removal Machine". Since its initial formation in 1983, the band has had various line-ups; the longest-serving members are Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy, who is also the band's two songwriters.
