CULT OF LUNA Complete Work On New Album

February 3, 2006

Apocalyptic Swedish outfit CULT OF LUNA have completed work on their new album, entitled "Somewhere along the Highway". Slated for an April 24 release via Earache Records, the album's initial tracking took place over seven days in a wooden octagon barn surrounded by "Blair Witch"-style scenery close to the band's hometown of Umeå in northern Sweden. According to sound engineer Magnus Lindberg, the remote location coupled with the spotting of "Wicca witch women dancing in the woods" and the actual acoustics of the barn itself all contributed towards creating the perfect ambiance to lay down the basic tracks which were done primarily live, as a unit — a departure from previous CULT OF LUNA recording protocol. Further recording and mixing happened in Tonteknik studios where both the band's 2004 album "Salvation" and its predecessor "The Beyond" (2003) were recorded. And the result promises to more raw and unpolished then the bands previous releases.

"Somewhere along the Highway" track listing:

01. Marching to the Heartbeats
02. Finland
03. Back to Chapel Town
04. And With Her Came the Birds
05. Thirtyfour
06. Dim
07. Dark City, Dead Man
