The Cult have mapped out the first leg of their 2012 North American tour in support of Choice of Weapon, the band's first new studio album in five years, due out May 22nd.

The 20-date trek is set to kick off on Friday, May 25 in San Diego and will feature support from Against Me! and The Icarus Line on most of the dates.

"This is going to be a very intense, high-energy tour," said The Cult's vocalist, Ian Astbury. "We are really looking forward to the time we spend on stage connected to our music and our audience. That's our purpose."

The band's new album, Choice of Weapon , was produced by Chris Goss (Queens of the Stone Age, U.N.K.L.E. Masters of Reality) and Bob Rock (Metallica, Bush, The Cult's Sonic Temple), recorded in New York City, Los Angeles, the California high desert and the band's Witch Mountain studio between July and December 2011, and written by Astbury and Duffy.
