I love that you gave this another chance, one of my favorite bands for sure. I recommend checking out Dark City Dead Man, it’s one of their staple songs and the closing track to their best album (IMO), Somewhere Along the Highway.

The drummer Thomas Hedlund, who is also the drummer in the phenomenal band Phoenix, brings any song he touches to another level. His use of the open hi-hats really stands out for me on this track.

Thomas is so underrated ... The use of hit hat on this song is remarquable you're right. And i find his work on ADTF and TLRN even more amazing, he just keep improving again and again, always serving the song and adding some tasty groove and patterns, love his drumming.

How did KZitem not suggest this to me earlier! I requested the original In Awe Of (or one of the people who did). Love the comedy btw!

Same here, saw them twice. Once with Julie for Mariner and the other time for their A Dawn to Fear tour. Incredible performance and lighting each time.

I've seen plenty of bands live but nothing really compares to seeing Cult Of Luna, they're a band that I make sure to never miss when they come around my area. 10/10 set every time.

LMAO at that intro! How long did it take you do that? Anyway, this is probably my favorite COL song off probably my favorite COL album. Aesthetic of this song is something akin to a slow stampede of lumbering mammoths. That riff is just so crushingly heavy and the drumming takes it at this patient, walking pace that gives the impression of an almost militaristic march. Yet, despite the heaviness there's also all of these strangely beautiful and haunting texture elements that elevates it to another level. Despite being such a long song I also never feel like it's too repetitive or not going anywhere, which is my one common complaint for the genre, and one thing I think COL deftly avoids in their work. I love how they take it down to just the bass and drums at one point before exploding into the most "post" section of the song with those gorgeous textures before slowing down for the next heavy section. There's just so much subtle development that's easy to miss on a first listen. As Dormant said, Dark City Dead Man is another COL highlight and could be a great next listen.

Completely agree with you about the dynamic nature of this song overall. There's a lot of beauty and movement within the sluggish heaviness and the song moves at a quick pace for a post- song. I still find it to be wild that I dismissed this track years ago for being repetitive. Glad you liked the intro. It was a last minute thought and took wayyy too many tries because I didn't plan it properly but I'm mostly happy with it.

Hey man! I would love to hear your reaction of their song "The Silver Arch" from their new album the long road north. I think it's another song of their that's quite interesting with lot's of movement! Keep up the good work!

Go back to their first album and see what you think with that, a different singer but very similar. Check out the song Sleep by them.

Imo this album takes a while to grow on you, but those are often the best albums.. I'd skip half of this album the first few listens, but then this song "In Awe Of" has one of my favorite riffs ever.

For some reason I find the vocals laughably bad. Really enjoy the Julie Christmas album though.

I'll be honest, I still prefer Julie's vocals on top of CoL's music. Not because I find these growls bad though. It's mostly between me not being a fan of growling and these growls being rather "generic;" though I understand that that could just be my inexperience with growls as they all still sorta sound the same to me.
