i love this band, saw them live in 2007 and will be again this july 1st.

love pretty much all of their albums.

wow. didn't know they had new albums coming up its so soon from the last one.

Post by: Jacob on May 12, 2008, 01:31 PM
I remember seeing them for the first time at a really small club outside my city. we were like 20-30 people in the audience, or even less maybe. I think they had only released their first two albums back then and weren't nearly as big as they are now. it's really cool having seen a band at such an early stage, then years later seeing people discuss them on an international forum.

sounds like cool experience, i don't think they are massive even now, just well know in the likes of ISIS and NEUROSIS music category.

i really love the new record.
its not as much post-metal as on the last one and it lacks a bit in variety, so yes SATH is still my fav album.

but damnit, those songs are more than just progressive. and with the concept of the album in your mind its a crazy journey :D
Title: Re: CULT OF LUNA
Post by: Jacob on May 26, 2008, 09:42 PM
what is the concept?
Title: Re: CULT OF LUNA
Post by: Alvar on May 27, 2008, 04:46 PM
QuoteCult of Luna founder and guitarist Johannes Persson explains the intriguing story behind the Eternal Kingdom album concept:

"There’s a strange story behind the album and how we came up with the title.For the last couple of years we’ve been rehearsing in what is actually an old mental institution about 45 mins outside town - it was a mental institution in the 1920's - and when we cleaned out our rehearsal room we found all these boxes with junk in, that seemed like they had been forgotten for a long time. Everything from medical journals to paintings by patients and things the patients had done. And we also found a journal entitled “Tales from the Eternal Kingdom”, complete with pictures and poems and words, that a patient named Holger Nilsson had written at the time"

Johannes continues: "Holger Nilsson, we since found out was a guy that was sentenced for his wife’s murder and was incarcerated for life. The notebook shows that it was a really interesting world he was living in –we’re not claiming to be psychiatrists or anything like that and able to make a good diagnosis of his mental state, but it’s clear to us that he was notliving in our world. So basically the whole album Eternal Kingdom takes us through his disturbed world from his perspective and mind, as recounted in the journal."

"The whole story started off by him blaming her death on this gypsy-like man that he met on the road home to his village, Yttre Akulla. It seems like he drowned his wife in the creek just outside of Yttre Akulla. It was obviously a very tragic event. His wife was in labor having a baby, and he had to run to neighboring village Bygeda to get a doctor. On the way to Bygeda he met this gypsy character, and he asked him to look after his wife whilst he ran to the village for a doctor –he was only away a short time, but when he returned to her, the baby was stillborn and his wife was in really bad shape, upset about losing the child,and she died in the creek shortly afterwards. The gypsy had disappeared.

"Holger believes she was killed by the Necken. In Old Swedish folktales there is a creature called the Necken who it is believed was Satan. The Necken plays on his fiddle and lures women to their doom, like the sirens in Greek mythology tricking sailors to their death.

"During the night he sees a bright light in the forest and he starts walking towards it, sneaking through the bushes, all around the fire he sees these different animals and animal-hybrids – Kumans (half-man,half-bear). It later turns out that these are the 'evil' animals. They are dancing around faster and faster and faster, and in the middle of the ring hes ees the gypsy - as they make eye contact, the gypsy transforms into an owl/man hybrid - this Owlman is known as Ugin, the Owl King. The Owl starts to scream, which causes the animals to give chase to Holger - so he runs away back to his house.

"The next morning there’s a knock at the door, and he’s very nervous but it’s one of the “good” animals. He gets taken to the good animals that are led by the Capercally. They have some secret information. The Capercally King tells him about this wood, this forest and the schism between the good and evil animals, and the Owl King Ugin that governs this whole evilland. The good animals had some information from a spy that will give the man advantage against the evil creatures. The good animals are not fighting creatures, but they get this information that they have a good chance to attack Ugin. So they all go and fight, but the information is false and they're surrounded and captured, so the story ends up that Holgergets sent to a dungeon in a mountain. Our interpretation is that this dungeon he’s sent to is his view of his incarceration."

Johannes handed in the journal which became civic property, and is expected to be displayed in the Osterbotten museum at some point.

Johannes reflects on the impact the find made on him: "When as aband, you unexpectedly find something like this it’s not a question of IF you’re going to do something about it. It’s an epiphany, it had to be the album concept, though it was very challenging to make the album's musicre-tell the story in the journal–

Post by: vadimo on Jul 08, 2008, 11:04 PM
hey anyone got anything new to add to this thread??

i have!

i saw them live for 2nd time in London Scala on the 01.07.2008, i was shocked by how good they plaid, it was just AMAZING, band plaid with so much energy, i have never seen COL like that, they are typically very static band, brilliant setlist, a number of songs were plaid which they stopped playing for last 4 years.

Anyway my opinion;
Performances: 5/5
Sound: 5/5
Venue: 5/5
Setlist: 5/5

This DVD will rock, cant wait.
PS: Eternal Kingdom CD is great too, best track: Following Betulas
Title: Re: CULT OF LUNA
Post by: Alvar on Jul 09, 2008, 01:09 PM
yea i was also going to see them, but they didnt arrive at the venue in marburg as you can read on their homepage (i drove 200 fuckin km to catch this show, and it was the only one they ever had to cancel)  >:(

eternal kingdom is definitely a masterpiece, just like all of their albums. my favorite track so far is ghost trail, but curse, owlwood and following betulas are also amazing.

here is a nice video of ghost trail:

has anyone ever noticed that during "Somewhere Along the Highway" era their vocalist (Klas Rydberg) was never present on stage, now in 'Eternal Kingdom' he is back on stage, i assumed that maybe he quit the band after 'Salvation' era and now reunited with the band???

After Scala show i asked him whether he left the band after Salvation and he said "no i was always there!"

anyone knows more about this?


can someone tell if im wrong

Saw them live 2 weeks ago, they're so good, I've been a fan for more than a year. The ending with Ghost Trail is amazing, they totally lost control, 7 guys so into their music, that HAS to be seen.
Plus they're really nice guys too, they signed everything in sight at the merch stand before and after the gig.

Title: Re: CULT OF LUNA
Post by: theis on Sep 09, 2009, 01:53 PM
I got the DVD yesterday. Amazing.

Eternal Kingdom is one of the best albums in post-metal.

And the concept behind it makes it even more awesome:

"Cult of Luna rehearsed in an area that was once the site of a long demolished mental institution. Upon moving their practice space to a different spot on the same site, the band uncovered long forgotten relics of the hospital, including old apparatus and medical journals. Amongst the discovery was the diary of Holger Nilsson, a former inmate of the prison placed there after drowning his wife. The diary was titled 'Tales from the Eternal Kingdom'.

Digesting the diary, the band realised that they had stumbled upon the ramblings of a madman. In the diary, Nilsson blamed the death of his wife on the Näcken, a Swedish folk entity believed to be Satan. The diary created a completely imagined world in which owl men and tree men all contributed to a fantasy story that explained why Nilsson was innocent of the crime."
Title: Re: CULT OF LUNA
Post by: Jacob on Sep 09, 2009, 01:59 PM
yeah, it's a cool story (which was explained a long time ago on the previous page of this thread :P ) but somehow I feel it might very well be made up. why would that stuff still be lying around like that? and if he was a madman who actually believed in what he wrote, why would he entitle the diary "Tales from the Eternal Kingdom"?
Title: Re: CULT OF LUNA
Post by: theis on Sep 09, 2009, 02:24 PM
Haha, woops.

Anyways, true or false, still creepy and it gives the album a great atmosphere.

the DVD is absolutely great.

although i had the feeling that the live footage could have been a bit.... darker, not as polished as it came out.
but we got it all in great quality and with perfect production, and thats what counts in the end.

Listened to the album about 5 times now. Masterpiece indeed. I'm deleting it from my PC for now. Buying this monster, for sure.

Btw, 'Dark City, Dead Man' is still their greatest achievement. That song is better than most songs.

Seeing them live for the first time this Friday.

I am beyond excited!

Post by: theis on Apr 20, 2013, 11:11 PM
The concert was great, but I wish they would've played more songs. Really wanted to hear Following Betulas, Leave Me Here and  Dark City, Dead Man.

Also, I was surrounded by idiots who kept talking to each other during songs. Shut the fuck up and listen to the music!

Setlist:

Intro: The One
I: The Weapon
Ghost Trail
Finland
Mute Departure
Vicarious Redemption
Owlwood
Passing Through
Disharmonia
In Awe Of

I've seen before that masterpiece of a show and have downloaded the DVD, so, I guess there is not so much material out there...
btw, this song reminds me to another song by them, maybe an early versión of a recent song...

I HOPE some could tape some shows from the upcoming tour. SOmewhere in it's entirety sounds really really great since it's a perfect album from the beginning to the end.
According to an interview they are only playing a few shows in Europe and then release "something", but nothing about a new album any sooner :(

Title: Re: CULT OF LUNA
Post by: Crazylegs on Mar 28, 2016, 12:52 PM
That song reminds me of the clean part of Dimmu Borgir's "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" for some odd reason. The chord progression and the harmony between the guitars and vocals are vaguely similar.
Title: Re: CULT OF LUNA
Post by: defTHE1s on Mar 28, 2016, 08:13 PM
That is fucking gold. So far the 2 songs have had better effect on me than the 2 new songs of Deftones. And I'm talking about of what I was waiting for each band.
Title: Re: CULT OF LUNA
Post by: theis on Mar 29, 2016, 07:42 AM
Not sure how I feel about her vocals. I'm hoping they'll grow on me.
Title: Re: CULT OF LUNA
Post by: Diplo on Mar 29, 2016, 09:24 PM
Sometimes she reminds me Rodleen on Knife Party.
I think a guess with Deftones would be awesome.

For the COL parts, it's pretty solid like usual but it lacks a little something that I dont find since Eternal Kingdom.
Title: Re: CULT OF LUNA
Post by: defTHE1s on Apr 01, 2016, 08:41 PM
Maybe it feels more like Vertikal than EK, like a logic progression but definitely that 'something is missing at least in this 2 tracks.
Maybe it has to see with the 2 members that are not longer in the band.

By any chance is some of you here taping the current shows along Europe?

Yet another bump...
Someone is able to rip/get the audio of this CoL set? The 1st half is useless songs, then they air like 3 Studio songs from the band and then air the show they did today (may, 12) at Göteborg, but sadly it's not the full show.

I can imagine that it would be.
Sometimes it sucks not to live near were your favorites bands use to play.

Are you recording something? Since it will be a special and brief 'Mariner' tour, I wish there were some decent recordings...

So, last sunday they posted on twitter a link to hear in full one of their SATH shows, the one from Göteborg to be specific:
http://sverigesradio.se/sida/avsnitt/816111?programid=4564 (http://sverigesradio.se/sida/avsnitt/816111?programid=4564)

But it wasn't available today that I checked; since it was posted since Nov 7th on that site, and later removed the stream. Anyone happened to listen/rip it?

Also, I replied on COL's twitter that it wasn't available and this was their response:

I SO WANT to see one of the shows they're giving next Aug at USA; Las Vegas is the closest but the ticket is really expensive because is for the entire fest (Psycho Vegas), If only they could sell individual tickets...

So, I am going to see them at NYC and was asking, is it really worth the Preferred Access Ticket ($50) or the Standard Ticket is Ok, and doesn't have much difference while enjoying the show?

"Preferred Access Ticket: Includes Front of Line Access, Guaranteed Seat, and a Show Poster."

General Admission Only

"CULT OF LUNA Performing "Mariner" in its entirety. Accessible accommodations should purchase a General Admission ticket and will be taken care of at the venue day of event."
