Cult of Luna

Cult of Luna is a band that I've listened a shitload to ever since William Hesseldahl, the guitarrist in my band, first gave me a memory stick with the album 'Somewhere Along the Highway' as a going away present back before I moved to Belgium (from where I ultimately moved back after a month, but we didn't know that at the time). I had heard Cult of Luna before then, but only a few songs (though I listened quite a lot to those few songs), but I didn't really get into them until I started listening to 'Somewhere Along the Highway'. It became and has stayed one of my favorite albums of all time.

Cult of Luna play a sort of mix between post-rock, metal indie and hardcore, with some (but not a lot at all) synthesizers. The songs are long and usually slow, and centered around repetition. They make great use of intensity and have a great raw sound, extremely powerful music.


Cult Of Luna – And With Her Came The Birds (this song is pretty different from their other songs, but its one of my favorites by them)

Peace,

Woody
