CULT OF LUNA Begins Recording New Album

February 26, 2008

Swedish art-rock behemoth CULT OF LUNA has entered Tonteknik Studios in its hometown of Umeå, Sweden, to record its fifth full-length album.

The band has eight songs ready to commit to tape, having spent the preceding weeks fine tuning the material that will look to build further on the success of "Somewhere Along the Highway".

Although CULT OF LUNA is yet confirm the title, the CD will see the band attempt to adapt its sound, welcoming a harsher and more primal element to its already complex approach.

Guitarist/vocalist Johannes Persson comments cryptically: "As we close the doors of the Tonteknik studio and travel into unchartered musical ground, only one thing is sure; what will come out will have been born from pain and violence."

CULT OF LUNA's new album is scheduled for a June release.

The band has confirmed the following shows this year:

March 19 - Oslo (NO),Sub Scene, Inferno
March 20 - Oslo (NO),John Dee, Inferno
April 19 - Tilburg (NL),013 Popcentre, Roadburn
June 22 - Brittany (FR),Hellfest
