CULT OF LUNA's new album details
Posted by miray on 03/02/06
Previous NextApocalyptic Swedish outfit Cult of Luna have completed work on their latest
album entitled SOMEWHERE ALONG THE HIGHWAY
Slated for an April 24th release date via Earache Records, the initial
tracking took place over 7 days in a wooden octagon barn surrounded by
"Blair Witch" scenery close to the bands hometown of Umeå in Northern
Sweden.
According to Magnus Lindberg the remote location coupled with the spotting
of "Wicca witch women dancing in the woods" and the actual acoustics of the
barn itself all contributed towards creating the perfect ambiance to lay
down the basic tracks which were done primarily live, as a unit - a
departure from previous Cult of Luna recording protocol.
Further recording and mixing happened in Tonteknik Studios where both the
bands 2004 album Salvation and its predecessor The Beyond (2003) were
recorded. And the result promises to more raw and unpolished then the bands
previous releases.
Somewhere Along The Highway contains 7 tracks, namely:
Marching To The Heartbeats
Finland
Back To Chapel Town
And With Her Came The Birds
Thirtyfour
Dim
Dark City, Dead Man
