Swedish post-metal veterans Cult of Luna release “Sadness Will Reign” as the fourth single from their upcoming tenth studio album “In The Shadow of Your Shadow.” The track features Gojira frontman Joe Duplantier as a guest vocalist.

“In The Shadow of Your Shadow” spans nine tracks and 71 minutes. In addition to Duplantier, the album features David Eugene Edwards of 16 Horsepower and Wovenhand on the track “One More Day.”
