Strange choice. This is one of their weakest albums imo. Songs are too long and never go anywhere. Anyway, cool for all SATH-fans out there. I'd prefer almost any other CoL album in its entirety though.

Written by BloodTears on 25.11.2015 at 14:44 I'm sure it works very well live, and would still go to see it if I could. It's just not one of their best albums imo, but I see now that most would disagree! Written by [user id=4365] on 25.11.2015 at 14:50 I think Salvation or Vertikal would have been better choices. Though Vertikal could be a bit boring since they played most of it live recently. There are still great songs on SATH (Finland, ...Birds) but it drags a bit too much towards the end for me, which makes it hard to listen to it all in one sitting. But yeah, still top-quality, hard to compare a band like CoL to themselves.

Written by Paz on 25.11.2015 at 15:10 Um, of course, that's obvious... *cough* Fingers crossed for an Eternal Kingdom anniversary in a few years, then.

I just hope they announce some more shows. Do a tour? Please? I'd love to see this live, probably my favourite CoL album and I think the show would be incredible

Roadburn 2016 is turning out to be the most beyond-my-wildest-dreams lineup/setlists in history! Green Carnation, Lychgate, Paradise Lost, Neurosis and now Cult Of Luna all playing special sets - that represent almost everything I love most about metal in the past 10-20 years. Which makes me hate more than ever that I live in fucking North America...

Written by Paz on 25.11.2015 at 15:24 Funny how much fans' opinions differ on each album. I've always thought Eternal Kingdom is very underrated and overlooked, but truly exquisite, and Salvation on the other hand sounds overrated for being a bit monotonous. Somewhere Along The Highway seems to bring the most consensus though and rightfully so.

Between this, the Green Carnation set and several other bands announced for Roadburn I am very tempted to go - just have to decide whether I'm willing to go to and camp at a festival in a foreign country by myself, as I'm pretty sure no-one else I know would be up for doing this

Written by musclassia on 25.11.2015 at 19:59 Do it. When none of my friends ended up being able to join me to Brutal Assault I didn't hesitate for a second and just went ahead and bought my ticket. It ended up being one of the best weeks I've had in recent memory. Don't worry about being there alone, you are never alone at a festival like this. There are always plenty of people to meet
