About — The artist

Cult of Luna is a Swedish sludge metal band originally from Umeå, in the municipality of Umeå. Formed in 1998 around Klas Rydberg on vocals and Johannes Persson on guitar, the band draws on various Swedish musical elements, from sludge to atmospheric metal. It was formed following the break-up of the group Eclipse.

Their style is close to bands such as Neurosis, Isis or Breach, although Cult of Luna sets itself apart with a hazy style that may be compared to groups such as Envy or even Explosions in the Sky.
