Cult of Luna

Cult of Luna is an experimental metal band from Sweden. Often described as post-hardcore, this band, led by guitarist Johannes Persson and singer Klas Rydberg, explored several genres throughout the 2000s. While 2001's Cult of Luna and 2003's The Beyond were not necessarily innovative in their rage and melancholy, their albums Salvation (2004) and above all Somewhere Along The Highway (2006) changed all that, drawing on high-level atmospheric post-rock. In 2008, Eternal Kingdom earned him a place in the charts in his home country. Cult of Luna released the acclaimed Vertikal in 2013, followed a few months later by the Vertikal II EP. After a few personnel changes, the band teamed up with singer Julie Christmas of Made Out of Babies and Battle of Mice and released Mariner.
