Even though it might sound impossible, I'm confident this album is going to raise the bar once again. You people are masters of your craft, and the quality of your work is beyond measure. Thank you for 20+ years of amazing music.
This is going to be another thing that's going to get me through days when mental health is kicking me down. Your music is so powerful and honestly just beyond songs and albums. It's like therapy.
Man for years now, lotta bands been sometimes a little disappointing dropping new albums. But Cult of Luna has delivered on every new album, been blessed to have seen them live just months before the whole pandemic.
One of the only post-metal bands that will remain relevant and high quality for as long as they stay together. Hell, have they ever put out a sub-par release?
have you ever tried to _not_ repeatedly listen to a song so you don't burn yourself out of/get tired of it? this is what i'm trying to do with this. i've already repeated it like 6 times. this is a song i'm gonna wish i heard for the first time again over and over again in years to come.
That's true....Luckily I only had two albums of theirs before listening to this first couple of times....after listening I now have every single other album to enjoy instead of repeat listening to this bit of brilliance......
So proud of this band. Album after album, you prove to be one of the most forward looking and distinct sounds in metal. Each endeavor is a mediation on some fundamental aspect of the human condition or primal emotive. Very excited for this release. 🤘
@@locust7777 I actually agree. I was disappointed with Raging River. I do listen to Wave after Wave occasionally. And I Remember, but overall nothing draws me to keep listening. Just didn't make the same impression.
I find that CoL have taken their time in exploring, expanding, and experimenting with their sound. They have core elements but every album has something a little different they explore- like the industrial on Vertikal. Then they incorporate aspects of it into their album. This, IMO, had resulted in them being one of the best metal acts today.
With this video I finally understood why I like Cult of Luna so much: the musical development is spread throughout the time usually suitable for 3 tracks, therefore you can watch it unfold slowly, almost like you're watching it from a distance. It's a meditation in audible form, because during meditation you watch your thoughts instead of letting them rush through. And I get why there are people that don't like it - they want the development itself in 4 minutes or less, not to watch it and definitely not to think about it. But it makes people that appreciate bands like Cult of Luna that much more valuable. In people I know personally there are none of those.
Post Metal (particularly COL) is a journey. Sometimes through space, or time, or through end times. I think you need to be the kind of person who sees the climbing of the mountain and the euphoria of reaching the top as one of the same to appreciate this kind of music. I still re-listen to Leave Me Here every so often, and get the same story in my head of a man running to see the world over, waiting to be swept away by it's currents. Cygnus a song about reaching the end of the galaxy and escaping our own planet’s destruction so humans can survive. This song about entering a new frontier like the pioneers of yore leaving the ice age and forging civilization through an audous journey filled with pitfalls. They're all around that central theme of overcoming insurmountable obstacles to get to the top....whatever that top may be.
This totally blew my mind this morning on my way to work. I feel grateful to have grown up listening to them and to be growing old listening to them. All my respect and appreciation. Thank you Cult Of Luna. This may be my favorite music video I've ever seen, for once I feel like the video makes the music even better, and like if I were the artist I'd change nothing. 11/10 this fully transports me. Can't wait to put it on a bigger screen with full surround and just completely submerge.
Almost 20 years later and cult of luna are still a band that communicates its concepts beautiful you close your eyes and always see the vision of the music
I’ve had nightmares about tornadoes chasing me that went a lot like this. Killer song, CoL, can’t wait to hear the rest of this album. Y’all never fail to create compelling, badass material.
This is the first time EVER listening to Cult of Luna and Cold Burn is already among the most beautifully heavy songs I've ever heard. Can't wait to listen to the entire album.
it's hard for me to make a list of my all time favourite CoL songs. but this one may _already_ be in my personal top 3. everytime i think they can't up the bar, they outdo themselves. and this is only song one. holy SHIT.
Absolutely fucking incredible. Everything since Somewhere Along the Highway has been great in comparison to most of the other stuff in the genre, but nowhere near the caliber of that album in my opinion. This is the best song I've heard all year, period. Post-metal doesn't give me chills and make me misty. This one does. Well fucking done.
This song is written in Sonata form I think.. That recapitulation of the droning, horn-like guitar stirs my soul. You guys have to check out Johannes Persson's collaboration with Perturbator, "Final Light"
I ordered vertikal and ADTF yesterday on vinyl and now pumped up to put in my preorder in next 45 hours. The band which changed my mind about metal - the greatest band of all times - Cult of Luna. ❤️
Y'a des groupes et musiques je les adore sur le moment mais je sais que ça va pas durer et que c'est juste une passion passagère. Je les ai découvert récemment et c'est le seul groupe depuis pantera (que j'écoute littéralement plusieurs heures par jour depuis toujours) pour lequel je sais que plus je vais les écouter plus je vais aimer et les écouter encore plus. Cet album est une perle rare. Content de voir des francophones qui ont bon goût🤘
I discovered you guys two days ago, because of the review on AMG. I had one listen to the new album on Spotify and immediately ordered the silver vinyl version. The album is dark, epic, like being buried under a mountain of sound. Sublime, I have no other words for it.
Epic song and epic video. I have already listened to this track a dozen times since released yesterday and my anticipation for the new album is at a grand scale right now. Nothing against Raging River but I hope The Long Road North is as good as Dawn To Fear which I think is your best album to date. If this track is any indication I think my expectations may be met.
This caught me off guard. If there was any social media announcements of this dropping today I missed it. SUPER pleasantly surprised seeing the notification drop down on my phone at work for this. CoL and Be'lakor are the only metal bands I own every single album. This is just what I expect from you guys. I love it and it's made me day that much better. Very excited for the full release in February. 😈🤘
Great again and again! You are all the time surprising and NEVER disappoint guys. I will pre-order the album and book some tickets for your shows in Wien and Ljubljana
I was reading a particular scene in John Langan's The Fisherman that I won't spoil except to say it was a vision, and this song immediately came to mind. Really invoked a powerful feelilng.
extremely stunning piece- and it hearkens to what Terence McKenna said about putting our deepest heart on display for exploration by other players who will pay the cost of attention to experience it.
Well this is amazing. Randomly discovered these folks in high school when I came across a CD of theirs tossed on the sidewalk. Took it to my buddy Steven's house and popped it in and we were blown away. Great to know they're still awesome a decade and a half later, if not even better.
@@CaptMorgan1st I'm trying to remember which album it was because it was a CD somebody burned. I think based off the tracks it was Somewhere Along the Highway? And that's kinda cool too though! Good old 90s pop rock haha
Just effin kick ass guys. Can't wait. This song has so much density. Raging River is likely my no.1 of 2021 album (I consider it an album anyways....ep is 38 mins long! 😘)....wouldnt be surprised after hearing this beauty if the same happens next year. I'm seriously blown away 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
23 years growing, Cult Of Luna has fully built a sound that conveys a message of strain, of fury, of tacitude that feeds their monolithic music. My mind wanders the extant means of being while listening to the tumultuous writhing of this fervent composition. tl/dr: CoL is on a distant plane
Hi, where can I experience the immersive game they are talking about 🙄, must be dumb can't find it with a link or something... Anyway fucking great album amazing art
Didn't expect I'd be rooting this much for at tiny orb, but damn I ended hoping that little thing was going to make it! This song is massive! *chefs kiss*
Cult of Luna feel like almost the Metallica of the generation I grew up in.. In the ways that I always come back to them and they always push their sound into different areas. A band that needs far more recognition, when Pink Floyd had the idea of the wall of sound, this is (imo) what they meant.. The beauty yet somewhat melon Colin feel to their music.
If this turns out to be as good as ADTF i will be beyond happy, but if it turns out to be better i dont know if i can take that much awesomeness. Thanks for amazing music & visuals once again, i specially love drumwork in this track!

5:09 is just pure gold...
Cult of Luna just keeps getting better and better as time marches on, doesn't it?
No
Calm down. It's been 17 years since their best album.
@@B1tterAndThenSome their best album is Eternal Kingdom
@@MadailinBurnhope Nice try, would you like to guess again?
@@MadailinBurnhope thank God it's not their worst , but no
Even though it might sound impossible, I'm confident this album is going to raise the bar once again. You people are masters of your craft, and the quality of your work is beyond measure. Thank you for 20+ years of amazing music.
Oh... it will.
What you mean ? "You people?"
@@bensbikex510 The band and basically anyone involved with helping to create Cult of Luna records.
They got a lot of inspiration from the almighty Neurosis but sure they are good
Yes, in COL we trust ! And they never disappoint.
Just mind blowing. That intro drum part is absolutely brutal. This is the soundtrack to the earth being destroyed by a black hole
This is going to be another thing that's going to get me through days when mental health is kicking me down. Your music is so powerful and honestly just beyond songs and albums. It's like therapy.
8:58 Closing the circle! I love come back to the beginning's riff!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Man for years now, lotta bands been sometimes a little disappointing dropping new albums.
But Cult of Luna has delivered on every new album, been blessed to have seen them live just months before the whole pandemic.
Same bro. I saw them in New York before the pandemic.
I just came across cult of Luna To day and this is the third song iv listen to amazing and look forward to the rest of you discography
One of the only post-metal bands that will remain relevant and high quality for as long as they stay together. Hell, have they ever put out a sub-par release?
Raging River
@@locust7777 No. The answer was no.
@@locust7777 You don't seem to like Raging River , but to me it's a very good record, maybe not COL's best release but i like it
Not really. Some releases haven't been in my taste but it's clear as day that those records were masterfully crafted.
I hope the same with The Ocean Collective.
Both bands are amazing.
have you ever tried to _not_ repeatedly listen to a song so you don't burn yourself out of/get tired of it?

Damn this song is brutal. Definitely hear the industrial influences of Vertikal merging with the sound from Raging River. Love it.
It's far superior to anything on Raging River
@@locust7777 I actually agree. I was disappointed with Raging River. I do listen to Wave after Wave occasionally. And I Remember, but overall nothing draws me to keep listening. Just didn't make the same impression.

It's funny that I'm not a super patient person, yet I'd see Cult of Luna drop a 20 minute track and be like, "Awwww it's only 20 minutes?"

This is the first time EVER listening to Cult of Luna and Cold Burn is already among the most beautifully heavy songs I've ever heard. Can't wait to listen to the entire album.
This is not just a music video. The whole thing is truly a amazing piece of art. Thanks Cult of Luna.
Turn 40 and you give me this gift??? Awesome again guys! 🖤
Hypnotic... so heavy and abrasive. Nice breakdown and back into a horrifying dream realm. The shortest 10 minutes you'll ever experience
Maybe the darkest 10 minutes as well
back again for round 2, this looks fantastic in 4k!
it's hard for me to make a list of my all time favourite CoL songs.
but this one may _already_ be in my personal top 3.
everytime i think they can't up the bar, they outdo themselves. and this is only song one. holy SHIT.
What is this and why didn't I know of it's existence? I was in a trance for 10 minutes.

Toujours aussi originaux et creatifs, fevrier c'est trop loin!

Immense, apocalyptic, dark, dense and beautiful 🖤

Same lol. I got the red one tho
C'est tellement puissant ! C'est incroyable ✨ j'adore !!
They are getting better and better every single step yet they are perfect even in the first place.
Love these new experiments with faster rhythms (as on Wave after Wave). And the cohesion of video and audio here is hypnotic. Great stuff!
This is an impressively massive soundwall masterpiece. Once again. I bow before you, Cult of Luna.
Always wondered what Sweden looked like... A few more tornadoes than I expected.
If the rest of the album sounds like this, then they're seriously on a 4-5 album winning streak here! Can't wait to see how this game pans out.
2022 is not even there but we still know the album of the year ! that's dope
Epic song and epic video. I have already listened to this track a dozen times since released yesterday and my anticipation for the new album is at a grand scale right now. Nothing against Raging River but I hope The Long Road North is as good as Dawn To Fear which I think is your best album to date. If this track is any indication I think my expectations may be met.
Just got done with Spotify wrapped which was embarrassingly CoL dominant due to The Raging River coming out this year.. Excited for even MORE new CoL!
This caught me off guard. If there was any social media announcements of this dropping today I missed it. SUPER pleasantly surprised seeing the notification drop down on my phone at work for this.

Fantastic! Would be even better, if you could add the lyrics as subtitles to the video! Can't wait to see it live!
Video was great - had a strong vibe from the PS classic Journey with an apocalyptic twist(er)
Same here, couldn't stop thinking about Journey, what a fantastic game
This is next level. COL just keeps evolving and crushing planets and I'm here for it.
How does this band continually create such crushing riffs? Just how do they do it? It does my head in...🤪
The visuals are just as impressive as the song. What an amazing compliment to each other
Great again and again! You are all the time surprising and NEVER disappoint guys. I will pre-order the album and book some tickets for your shows in Wien and Ljubljana
I'm so happy to get this. My god its amazing. Has been my favourite band for nearly 20 years and every album a masterpiece.
I was reading a particular scene in John Langan's The Fisherman that I won't spoil except to say it was a vision, and this song immediately came to mind. Really invoked a powerful feelilng.
'Rock Band' has been the only music experience I've had in gaming. This ought to be epic. An interactive video. I can't wait. Now, when...
The climax that start at 3:48 is fucking gorgeous
Really great. It's a true perfection metal. Please come to Japan!!
Everything this band does is a musical revolution.
Absolutely f...in amazing killer song!!!Respect!
extremely stunning piece- and it hearkens to what Terence McKenna said about putting our deepest heart on display for exploration by other players who will pay the cost of attention to experience it.
The cost of attention
Terence McKenna Coast to Coast AM
Cult of Luna never disappoints. Just crushing out straight classics since Somewhere Along the Highway.
Well this is amazing. Randomly discovered these folks in high school when I came across a CD of theirs tossed on the sidewalk. Took it to my buddy Steven's house and popped it in and we were blown away. Great to know they're still awesome a decade and a half later, if not even better.

This is what I imagine Farum Azula and Limgrave looked like when Placidusax sealed the sky temple in time in Elden Ring, badass
Wow, another epic!!!! Looking forward to the album so much. Bring it on!!!!!!!
Love how Boba Fett’s seismic charge opens up the track. Freakin love it. Lol.

I always thought of them as Old Man Gloom light. But once again they go and prove me wrong. Very cool direction with this song.
I’m honestly speechless. Absolutely amazing song can’t wait to hear the rest of the album
It is my birthday.. this is like a gift lol thanks
Hi, where can I experience the immersive game they are talking about 🙄, must be dumb can't find it with a link or something... Anyway fucking great album amazing art
Does anybody know of other metal songs with a drum beat as the central riff? It sounds so cool here.
The Gjallarhorn calling across all the realms signaling the end has begun. Truly phenomenal
The best band of this generation. Never, and I mean never, disappointed with Cult of Luna. Love them!
This is great C.o.L. it doesn't disappoint, I'll take it a little longer, the album has been ordered!
I can't wait to see you guys in Paris !!
Stark and wonderful transcendence. Awesome song and video!
wow wow wow , the idea is really cool ! the 3D artist who are working on this are really lucky!
Amazing as always. I’m not sure my ears have the time for another COL album so soon!
5:50 Love how the rocks are moving like seaweed
Didn't expect I'd be rooting this much for at tiny orb, but damn I ended hoping that little thing was going to make it! This song is massive! *chefs kiss*
Feels like a winamp visualisation for the 21st century
AWESOME! The sound reflects my current mood. ThxXx!
The best track I've ever listened to. Like 20 times, no jokes! Can't wait to see you in ArcTanGent 2022 in 7 weeks!
Really good stuff here. Congrats to you all.
cant wait for the actual album. had this single on repeat since it released! such a good song!
Very first second: *BLAAAAAARE
Holy cow, this thing goes hard.
From the sound of this track, I am beyond excited for the album. And I love the idea for the game experience.
Wow this is the definition of intensity, I'm amazed by the development of the this master piece, jaw dropping, just that
Yap, thats perfect. Just right now :). Thank you, Luna!
Damn. That was...phew...where's my head gone now? Got blown off...
So, this is what we needed nanite for. I dig it :D.

Been hooked since seeing them open for Mastodon at the Rave Bar in Milwaukee a while back. Crushing!
I like that it circles back to the opening music pattern
In dutch/flemish we say: wa een schijf!
Bought the vinyl pretty soon after I heard this. The first song of theirs I heard. So glad I found out about them
Damn, feels like im part of a cult now.
You are. The Cult of Luna. Welcome :)
Top work. I very much enjoyed that!
If this turns out to be as good as ADTF i will be beyond happy, but if it turns out to be better i dont know if i can take that much awesomeness. Thanks for amazing music & visuals once again, i specially love drumwork in this track!
This is sick
