Anyway, cool for all SATH-fans out there. I'd prefer almost any other CoL album in its entirety though. ---- My "blackened synth metal" solo project: maladomini.bandcamp.com.

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 This is the one I find fans tend to like the most. Personally I prefer Salvation over it, but it's still top-tier music. 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. ---- My "blackened synth metal" solo project: maladomini.bandcamp.com.

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. Salvation would have worked just as well, perhaps more so because it was their breakthrough album (as far as I remember it). As great as Vertikal is I think it would be a bit too recent to play in this fashion. I don't think it's reached classic / legendary status. Loading...

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... Loading...

Dunno, that's definetly my least favorite out of all 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. Loading...

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.
