CULT OF LUNA: First Two Albums To Be Released On Vinyl

January 25, 2010

Swedish "art rockers" CULT OF LUNA have issued the following update:

"As some might know, Earache have decided to finally release our first two albums (2001's self-titled and 2003's 'The Beyond') on vinyl. Each record will be double LP on gatefolded sleeves. They have been re-designed using abstract photography — still honoring the original artwork and typography."

Photos of the upcoming vinyl releases of "Cult Of Luna" and "The Beyond" can be found below.

CULT OF LUNA will release a hardback book/audiobook called "Eviga Riket" on February 23 by C.O.L Press. According to the band, the book is "a short story covering the life and times of Mr. Holger Nilsson, the full story behind the 'Eternal Kingdom' [CULT OF LUNA's latest album] theme. The book will be bilingual, written in Swedish and translated into English. The narrated versions of this short story is accompanied by newly written CULT OF LUNA pieces and soundscapes."

"Eternal Kingdom" is based on an actual journal found in an old mental home. The CD takes listeners on a weird and wonderful journey through the mind of a former patient as he tells the tale of how his wife came to be murdered, and of the mythical creatures he claims to have encountered during the time of the harrowing event.

CULT OF LUNA's DVD, "Fire Was Born", was released in April 2009 via Earache Records). Along with an epic live show recorded on July 1, 2008 at Scala in London, England, the disc — which was mixed, edited and designed by the band — features footage of mainman Johannes Persson and Anders Teglund (keyboards) answering questions from fans all around the world and the videos for "The Watchtower", "Leave Me Here" and "Back To Chapel Town".

A video clip for the song "Adrift" taken from the "Fire Was Born" DVD can be viewed below.
