Marc Almond, nombre artístico de Peter Mark Sinclair Almond (Southport, Lancashire, 9 de julio de 1957) es un cantante y compositor popular inglés, que originalmente obtuvo fama como vocalista del dúo de Tecnopop/New Wave, Soft Cell, que fundó con David Ball.
Vida personal
Almond siempre le fascinó el fundador de la iglesia de Satán, Anton LaVey. LaVey inició a Almond en el Satanismo laveyano en el Black House.
En respuesta a ser nombrado OBE a la edad de 60 años, Almond dijo que todavía es un "poco" antisistema, pero agregó: "Realmente ya no puedo ser un rebelde. Creo que es hora de dejarlo en manos de los más jóvenes".
