Cult Of Luna Releasing New Album "Mariner"

With mind-melting eighth album "Mariner," Cult Of Luna and Julie Christmas bring you to the outer rim of the ever expanding boundaries of the cosmos - where the rules of man are not applicable and the cold, dark nothing envelops the harsh realities of the universe. Cult Of Luna comments:

"At the end of Vertikal, we stood in the cold harshness of the mechanical city and looked up onto the stars. We lost ourselves in the awe of their grace and thought that maybe the answer is to be found above. The ship was leaking and by the look of it, our home was dying. No room for fear when a greater call demands your full attention. So, we left... Onward, forward. Like the old seafarers, we explored the vastness of space. Not bound by physical laws we pass the speed of light and chase the expansion of space until we reach its limit. And then, we continued on and disappeared. This is our story."

New album "Mariner" will be released on April 8th via Indie Recordings. Drums and bass were recorded by Magnus Lindberg at Tonteknik Recording Umeå, Sweden with additional recordings by Kristian Karlsson at Studio Hufvudstaden in Söderköping, Sweden.

Julie Christmas' vocals were produced and engineered by Andrew Schneider at Translator Audio and Loho Studios in New York City, with the entire five-track gem mixed and mastered by Magnus Lindberg at Redmount Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.
