Cult of Luna - Eternal Kingdom

[SuperFubar666]

you should also check out Then came the flood-extinction complete!!

[youwerkilledbyfluffy]

I wanna hear it again! Yeeeaaahhh

[sqazsquat]

i've only just started listening to cult of luna and loving it so far! which album should i start with?

[tooldruid]

@sqazsquat Definitely listen to "The Beyond." It's their most accessible, awesome album to date.

[sqazsquat]

@tooldruid will do. i bought "salvation" yesterday and so far i'm very pleased with it.

[scssrs]

@sqazsquat this one.

[Revelatus]

So, my advice to the people crying about the genre arguments to embrace the fact that the band's fans actually have some interest in the music rather than how some deathcore faggots hair looks in his new shitty music video.

[Revelatus]

People that argue about genres are the people that listen to good music. They mostly argue about genres because the know that they listen to good music, and they don't want their music to be called something it's not by some retard who thinks everything with harsh vocals is screamo.

[91Anarchie]

this is just a fucking amazing song.. it takes me everytime to another spaces and let me fly..

i love the band!

[CultofIsis]

@BlackHeartInertia86- The genre "Post-metal" as this is called refers to post-modernism. Meaning that it isn't the norm. It gets away from the idea of what metal is thought to supposed to be. Aaron Turner of Isis calls it "Thinking mans metal". It's become my favorite genre. If you are still interested...

[CyValkarion]

I can't get enough of this. Pelican, Isis, Neurosis, The Ocean, Cult of Luna... it all takes me somewhere else. Somewhere alone and dark, but comfortable.

[762willstopit]

@CyValkarion Very well put. It makes me comfortable, as you say, to be alone, but inspires me to be better, alone or not. LOVE post-metal!

[llvllrmorgan]

great song dudes got a great voice

[Tathatajahada3]

@BlackHeartInertia86 seems to shift from an atmospheric hardcore-ish style to a metal mixed with elements of black metal (esp. the vox), heavy but soothing! Big thumbs up!

[iEatBoneDust]

Good song but it does get a bit repetitive...

[lamerical]

good intro notes

[hillysats]

I looooove the final riffs to this song

[tsyrlb]

genres are to identify musical styles. thats all. to see where things connect and associate with.

all the "my team vs your team" bullshit is teenagers and young college kids who havent been around long enough to appreciate different kinds of music.

stupid fucking kids.

[historyofmetal]

@tsyrlb i hope you're not saying all teens and young college kids are morons like that...

[tsyrlb]

@historyofmetal

YES i am saying exactly that you stupid fuck.

that was sarcasm above, because clearly you cant read worth shit. and you are having a gut reaction because you are 18 and wanna defend your group.

go suck a dick.

[historyofmetal]

@tsyrlb woah chill the fuck out faggot. you don't know shit about me and making such a large generalization about teens being dumb just makes you look like a dumbass. if you even care to know, i agree with you that it's stupid when people argue about what genre a band is. it's completely fucking retarded. but not all people in that age group behave like that.

and yes, i can read. probably just as well as you can. but sarcasm is hard to imply via a youtube comment. and you sure didn't do well.

[historyofmetal]

@tsyrlb and one more thing, there was no reason to be such an asshole. such broad generalizations are rarely true, and i was just checking to see if you were actually saying that or if you were only talking about the teens that behave that way. i said nothing hostile to you and you flipped the fuck out for no reason. so once again, chill the fuck out you dumb cunt.

[tsyrlb]

@historyofmetal

what you gonna cry now? GO ON BABY, CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYY

you little wiener.

[historyofmetal]

@tsyrlb haha obviously. grow a pair, bitch.

[sixthseparatist]

My god, I haven't heard a band this good in a long time.

[DMTfabric]

Thats right... Cult Of Luna owns you!

[TheRafaelboy]

@DMTfabric Damn right it does!

[Merrylin]

I recently saw a rad band live called ATOMIS and they stated Cult of Luna as one of their biggest influences. So I checked them out...glad I did!!.....if you love Cult of Luna you should check out ATOMIS here---> atomis.bandcamp. com

[TheSassyPlatypus]

nice disclaimer

[mountdisorder667]

ITS POST METAL > SHUTUP. PEOPLE WANNA ENJOY THE MUSIC. DOES IT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK , OR WHAT I THINK????? NO

[generalten]

@mountdisorder667 both matter to me. people have the right to their opinion. thats why theres a comments section.

[ostninjan]

If there exists any gods, they are playing in this band.

[Behemyr]

This is my absolute favorite by them so far. Everything is perfect:

vocals, guitar, atmosphere

[blueberryacid1]

If you liked this chek out

[GHReaper1996]

holy shit, I'm in love with this song

[FallenShortFilms]

Words can't descibe how much I want to see these guys live! So good! Relaxing, yet a sense of doom-over-everything emerges.

[TheBreadMakerMan]

The first verse contains my favourite lyrics of all time.

[111iAm111]

when i have my firstborn these are the only songs im gunna play when hes growing up

[mikedeg13]

@111iAm111 its true, my daughter has this to hold, my lineage for her...

[565765746867665]

I love the power behind their music, and the lyrics I think totally go with that power.

[FA9082]

I cant believe someone would compare to this Meshuggah /facepalm x 9000

[sorstyle]

one of the most 'evil-atmosphear-creating' bands i've heard

[niallyeah]

this band sound just like meshuggah it's gay

[yprs]

@niallyeah: LOL, what the fuck are you talking about ?

[mancho747heavy]

WOW lml

[x617j4]

Yes I have to agree with Betulas34. Dont compare this band to Meshuggah. These guys have what...like 10 members that play on this album? Get off trying to categorize this band.

[betrayal9]

sludge is metal

[Betulas34]

I always find it kind of funny, most Cult of Luna videos end up having people fighting over the name of the genre in the comments. You guys wanna maybe just let it go? It's not like anyone's gonna know what you mean when you say "a fusion of post-rock and metal" or whatever, just call it Cult of Luna. The people who know what's up will understand.

[BlastTyrant69]

Total emo comment.

[JamesTheWench]

@Betulas34 I'm fucken' sick of people saying "FORGET GENRES, MAN" and all that shit, if you got rid of genres, and separated shit into METAL, JAZZ etc, I wouldn't be able to find Buddy Rich Band from Billie Holiday, or slayer from fucken' Attack Attack.

[faceDcrook]

@Betulas34 ..but whats up with retarded eclectic modus of graphic right here? lol

[Ezekiel25Colon17]

EPICORE.

[moriondor]

This is to all the messages below. Lets just call it good music and be done with it.

[Ultralazuli]

It's called Atmospheric Hardcore. it's a mix of post-rock, sludge metal, doom metal, and hardcore. Isis, Pelican, and Intronaut play this style too, though Neurosis invented it pretty much.

[xmusicxaddictionx]

@Ultralazuli I would say that its more often called Post-Metal. As in the fusion of post-rock and metal. But that's just another name for the same thing I suppose.

[AleksMCS]

Who cares?

[AleksMCS]

who cares?

[Futil3]

Im hearing a lot more bass than guitar in this. Unless the guitars are drop 'C' or drop 'B' tuned. Either way it sounds so amazing. OH it reminds me kind of Meshuggah, they play with a similar style of guitar, but have just more upbeat songs.

[parabola235]

@Futil3 funny, i thought the vocals resembled meshuggah slightly not the guitar.

[MainTemple]

i wanna learn this guitar effects im my pedal to play this, anyone know this is possible do it in a multiefects pedal? to play this kind of music and etc

[uLat0R]

Dont, ever (!), cover this.

It's absolutely not meant to.

[AshesWasHerName]

what do you mean? you don't need a pedal to play this "kind" of music.

[MainTemple]

when i say this of music i mean isis, cult of luna, tool...(i dont speak english too much) i dont want make a cover just play but my guitar dont sound like this =[ ,

[moriondor]

Just turn the gain up on your amp and the volume up on your guitar.....to eleven!

[surgubben]

I don't understand your point. Did I ever say that you can't enjoy post-rock and grindcore at the same time? No. I actually like everything between harsh noise to pop.

[raptor1056]

I don't know, dude, Turner's vocals are pretty good. His weird droning singing and his animal screaming? Quite excellent.

[xlorite]

it's one of the best metal songs ever!

[ChinamanVideos]

this aint metal buddy this is sludge

[AleksMCS]

Who cares?

[xlorite]

Slugde is Metal

[parabola235]

@ChinamanVideos ok, i agree with the comments far above saying how pointless arguing over the genre of this, but it's obviously not sludge dude.

[NightmareBThyName]

@parabola235 its definitely sludge influenced, i'd say

[YetMoreAnon]

or maybe it just came into the top of their heads :)

[BlastTyrant69]

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'.

[James0543]

@BlastTyrant69 fuck you, wikipedia is your friend.

[BlastTyrant69]

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.

[ChunkyPirate]

Really? That's an interesting inspiration.

[pooplifez]

fuck you haters his voice is fucking badass hes a genius and the madman was real cause they hold there practices now at an abandoned asylum and they found a book the dude wrote about an eternal kingdom

[sojer9996]

zajebisty kawałek zajebista kapela ot co :)

[pooplifez]

mastodon high on fire neurosis cult of luna nothing better!

[deusnovaomni]

this one gives me the creeps every time i hear it and i frikken love it, my fave... the whole concept about the writings of a madman, i mean if it's true or not ... it was a very good trick to scare little girls, like me, before bedtime :P and fire was born also rocks!

[cometokamu]

What's wrong with vocals? They suit to the this band's style perfectly imo.

Great song, a bit frightening for me.

[Aegrim]

the vocals worked on their first two albums, which were also their best ones.

[tiburonelectrik]

ur a lame ass bitch that puts up shit and dises it ur dumb as fuck

[Zexion201]

Goes straight into my brain.

[Blackened1993]

like every other COL song i've herd...

epic =]

[yesSirIWill]

A bit mastodon about it. But slower.

[profanebeliever]

I still believe that the vocals aren't necessary in their music. Without, it would hold so much uncontrolled emotions. Their music just doesn't ask for vocals and would sound much more powerfull without. That's my opinion anyway. (By the way, I don't have anything against hardcore vocals, I actually listen to that genre often as well).

[Grakkis]

I agree. They would make a superb instrumental band.

[Zamblee]

I agree. The band and music is amazing. The vocals are the weakest part. It's time to drop the cookie monster impression and think of something that hasn't been done to death and matches the creativity of the music.

[heppper]

Go see them live. Johannes has the rawest vocals, he's way better than for exemple Isis' Aaron Turner. I think the raw vocals is the perfect match/mismatch that makes this music so amazing.

Jävla fitta

[291294riee]

I love this song, it is amazing.

[llovebuzzz]

wow 5:01 is the best part of the song :)

[kallsupa]

Cult Of Luna is in my heart and blood.

[DihColorado]

no, it's not

[paulpogues]

haha ace

[kallsupa]

Well you are very cool, wait a sec, NO

[damianpsx]

That is legen... wait for it... dary! ;)

[troygrantcopenace]

this is like sludge doom:D

[sphericalpyramid]

The initial riff of this song is fantastic...but when the voice comes in it kills the vibe for me. There's a beautiful, haunting, unexplored vocal melody there. The pseudo-screaming undermines the atmosphere created by the instrumentation, rather than complimenting it. Great guitar tone though. C+

[brkdaice]

I agree. You could put some really cool vocals to this.

[PennyDreadful1]

Im not really that much for these hardcore unintelligible vocals either.

[MakaveliWiklund]

true true

[tisneyanders]

I could not disagree more.... Love the vocals and to me it fits this brilliant music perfectly.

[desertbutt]

I dunno, i think it sounds pretty cool. What song COULDN'T be better?

[Airuke]

i know the guitarist in this band :)

[zeroproductions00]

Apply punk rhythms to 2-note power chords, + add indie fills and metal vox, you have COL. Maybe good when they were a harmonizing noise like Burzum & My Bloody Valentine, but now it's standard dramatic indie rock which like a hipster, does a good game of raising little mystique and then vanishes around the corner, leaving a promise that turns to a disappointment.. an avg album dressed up as something significant. It leaves no lasting power or vision beneath the obvious, trite & controlled.

[mesdeftool]

Do you realize that this album was written after the diary of a murderer was found in their rehearsal space, which was formerly an insane asylum?

That right there was enough for me to love this entire album.

[zeroproductions00]

Yes sir. I was critiquing the music though, not the text.

[Revan2021]

since when are march rhythms punk rhythms, man?.. I respect your opinion, though, it's well-founded in its own rights, but I don't agree.

[DECA555]

agreed. Zeroproductions has a valid opinion. Whether or not you share that opinion is irrelevant.

[everton6667]

otimo adorei nota 10

[xvewox]

Looooove that song! :D

[CreatorOfBoredom]

This might seem offensive, but is there a instrumental version of this?

[BrendanW]

This shit just sounds cool, plain and simple.

[julko]

Även jag har fått uppleva detta under live, på min födelsedag av alla dagar :)

Cult of luna @ The rock i köpenhamn

5/5 låt för övrigt!

[Emeksi]

amazing concert this evening!

[surgubben]

Seeing this song live today in gbg!

[FrideOlovsson]

mmyea, i've seen them live aswell, AWESOME liveperformance !

[synotosis]

too slow

[surgubben]

That really was a dumb reply. Go listen to grindcore then. Okey?

[omgnuub]

i like both post rock and grindcore =)

[surgubben]

I have hard to belive that. This is more speed then post-rock. Maybe you meant that ypu listen to post-rock with grindcore elements?

[alejandro15187]

took the words right outta my mouth. What a jack off. Too slow?? It's fucking Doom you idiot!

[Revan2021]

it's post-metal, but yes, doom is also slow

[SpiritualFaust69]

Wonderful song

I love it!

thank you FridOlosson for this!
