EU / UK Spring 2022 tour kicks off next month

Sweden’s prolific post-metal band Cult of Luna have revealed their expansive new single “Into the Night” off their forthcoming album, “The Long Road North”. The record is one of their most beautiful and dynamic works to date which is palpably heard on the latest single.

“Into the Night” is about the search for something or someone that’s been lost. It’s about being in the state between conscious and unconscious, awake and dreaming. Seeing, hearing and experiencing things and not knowing if it’s real or imagination.

Guitarist and vocalist Fredrik Kihlberg

For over two decades Cult of Luna have forged a sound incomparable to others – ambitious, epic, visceral, and drenched in emotion. “The Long Road North” marks as a follow-up to last year’s “The Raging River EP”. As is the case with every album from the band in recent years, there is a lot of shifting of dynamics and sonic density, and perhaps more so than usual on “The Long Road North”.

It’s a big and cinematic sounding album. I think one of the reasons why we have been able to be so productive the last couple of years is that we have been consistently writing from the heart. We have let our instincts guide us, and I think it’s getting clearer where we are heading,

The long road north is a long road home. A direction dictated by a call that penetrates rock and echoes through the forest. It flows over every lake, accelerated by the wind. When it reaches you, you know it’s time. Time to move forward. You don’t know where it will lead but you put the trust in it. With eyes raised towards the midnight sun it pulls you closer. The road is long and the end is uncertain.Vocalist/guitarist Johannes Persson, who has been one of the primary driving forces behind the band since their inception.

The Long Road North” is out February 11 via Metal Blade Records and features guest appearances from composer Colin Stetson, Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz of French indie band Phoenix, and Mariam Wallentin (Wildbirds And Peacedrums).

“Cold Burn” sees the band unleashing more torrential atmospheric sludge – tones dense and immersive enough to keep us warm for the winter months to come.Consequence

It’s as towering and epic as you’d expect from Cult of Luna, and it nails the heavy/melodic vibe that this band has done so well for over two decades.Brooklyn Vegan
