Our Take

Swedish post-metal pioneers Cult of Luna have taken us back to the future with their re-release of Vertikal II (2020 Edition), and let me tell you, it's a wild ride through the dystopian landscape of sound.

From the opening track, "Owlwood," we are plunged headfirst into a swirling vortex of crushing guitars, pounding drums, and haunting vocals. It's like being trapped in a haunted house with a heavy metal soundtrack.

As we navigate through tracks like "The Sweep" and "Light Chaser," it becomes clear that Cult of Luna are masters of creating atmosphere. The layers of noise build and build, creating a sense of unease that is both thrilling and terrifying.

But it's not all doom and gloom. There are moments of lightness and beauty scattered throughout the album, like rays of sunshine breaking through storm clouds. Tracks like "Oubliette" and "Back to Chapel Town" offer a reprieve from the darkness, showing a softer, more introspective side to the band.

In the end, Vertikal II (2020 Edition) is a triumph of vision and execution. Cult of Luna have once again proven themselves to be true innovators in the world of metal music, pushing boundaries and challenging expectations with every note. So grab your headphones, buckle up, and prepare to be taken on a wild and unforgettable journey through the sonic landscape of Vertikal II.
