Cult of Luna

[wisevitamin]

Anybody who is a fan of Isis, intronaut, or any form of prog/post metal should check these guys out.

I just got into them recently and their albums are awesome after listening for the last month.

Anybody know how they are as a live band?

This album very much resembles panopticon imo, check it out:

Never seen them live, but their last album was excellent

[Ravenpig]

I'll bite. Downloading on rhapsody, will check out.

As this isn't an album of the week, listened to 30 minutes,pretty derivative of isis, got better bands to listen to.

[The Boss]

I've always liked CULT OF LUNA, but I can't remember the last time I listened to them.

[MOG]

Nothing about Cult of Luna is derivative of Isis. COL have been at this for some time. The bands toured together and both are considered post-metal but they sound completely different and their approach to song writing is completely different.

@Wise - If you dig COL I HIGHLY recommend you check out Bossk. Their body of work is much smaller but they are fucking fantastic. .I and .II are fucking brilliant.

I agree that it doesn't sound like Isis. It's not bad,not great though. Worth another listen or 3. 6/10

If you want to get into COL you need to check out Somewhere Along the Highway and Vertikal. Their best albums by far. Significantly better than Salvation. Eternal Kingdom is excellent as well.

Dark City, Dead Man off Somewhere Along the Highway


Vicarious Redemption off Vertikal


Ghost Trail off Eternal Kingdom

[Ravenpig]

I heard Vertikal.

[MOG]

I heard Vertikal.

@RP - Out of curiosity what rating do you give Vertikal?

@Wise - Dude if you want to really get into Post-Metal lemme know there are a shit ton of amazing bands/albums you need to check out.

[Ravenpig]

Gave it a 6. That's "Good" in my book. I'll give it another listen before I decide to keep or delete it from my rhapsody list.

[wisevitamin]

yeah I personally like vertikal and eternal kingdom the most. I have only really gotten into post metal in the last 2 years, since i'm only 22, and obviously didn't discover any of this music during high school. (all the noobs listening to chris brown and rihanna).

Tool got me into Isis, and damn I fkin love Isis.

Ever since discovering Isis, i've realized that post metal is a great fucking genre of music.

And yeah i'll be seeing CoL and intronaut in concert next month, so I will soon find out if they are any good live

Dude there are so many incredible albums out there to explore. If you are interested I can put a list together for you of albums to check out so you don't have to waste time digging around the interwebz for the finest the genre has to offer.

[not tyson]

Yeah, please put together a list Mog, you're so hip, knowledgeable and special.

[MOG]

Yeah, please put together a list Mog, you're so hip, knowledgeable and special.

Yes. Yes I am.

[wisevitamin]

yeah dude that would be cool. I like post metal, and prog metal, but i'm not really into that evil death metal shit, like meshuggah.

I'm not trying to summon satan here LOL.

I like metal that is along the vein of Isis, intronaut, CoL, Pelican, Red Sparrowes, omega massif.

Right on dude. Will put together a list for you tomorrow. Nothing too heavy. Maybe a little sludge but certainly nothing Meshuggah heavy. Meshuggah is not evil death metal tho lol Lots of misconceptions about metal.

[MOG]

^ awww is someone bitter?

@Wise - Some good albums there. I will put together a list that makes sense. Plus that is missing a bunch of really good albums.

[MOG]

oh i thought you were done with 4chan btw? hahahahahahaha

so easy. so transparent. always open for business.

[not tyson]

When did I say that?

Stop making stuff up.

[MOG]

When did I say that?

Stop making stuff up.

What happened to that 10 to 1 ratio? As always full of shit. Just can't stop lying can you?

[The Boss]

I really disagree with KHANATE being considered "drone". I'd like to think of myself as being quite knowledgeable when it comes to the genre.

[basejumper]

I would like Cult of Luna more if they were just an instrumental band. The singing puts me off.

I really liked the Bossk selection, will be checking out more of that. Thanks.

[MOG]

@Wise - I sent you the list via PM. Lemme know if you got it.
