Our Take

CULT OF LUNA's latest offering, The Raging River, is a sonic journey through the depths of post-metal madness. This Swedish collective has been pushing boundaries for over two decades now, and they show no signs of slowing down on this five-track album.

From the hauntingly atmospheric opener "Three Bridges" to the epic closer "Wave After Wave," CULT OF LUNA delivers a masterclass in creating expansive soundscapes that envelop the listener in a tumultuous whirlwind of emotion. The band's signature blend of crushing riffs, atmospheric textures, and ethereal vocals creates a truly immersive listening experience.

The production on The Raging River is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal line given room to breathe and shine. The dynamics of the album ebb and flow, building to thunderous crescendos before pulling back to haunting whispers, keeping the listener on their toes throughout.

While some may find the album's run time a bit on the short side, there is no denying the impact of each track. CULT OF LUNA has once again proven why they are one of the most important bands in the post-metal scene, with The Raging River serving as a testament to their continued creativity and innovation.

In conclusion, The Raging River is a must-listen for any fan of heavy, atmospheric music. CULT OF LUNA have solidified their place as genre leaders with this album, and I can't wait to see where their journey takes them next. Pitchfork Rating: 8.5/10
