CULT OF LUNA Announce Details Of New Album ‘Vertikal’ + 2013 European Tour Dates

‘Vertikal’,
 the 
new
 studio 
album 
from 
Sweden’s 
CULT OF LUNA, 
will 
be 
released 
via 
Indie
 Recordings
 in 
Europe
 on 
25th 
January 

2013.

‘Vertikal’
marks 
a 
much‐anticipated 
return 
for 
the 
band 
after 
five
 years 
spent
 cultivating 
the 
ideas
 and 
directing
 the
 influences
 that
 have
 helped
 form 
a
 concept
 for 
the 
album.
 Distilled
 throughout
 are
 themes of
 machinery, 
repetition
 and
 clear,
 linear
 structures 
honed
 to
 the 
visual
 imagery
 of
 Fritz
 Lang’s 
classic
 expressionist 
science‐fiction
 film
‘Metropolis’.
 The 
music 
broods, builds
 and
 boils
 as
 you
 may
 expect
 from 
CULT OF LUNA,
 but 
never over‐complicates 
itself
 or
 veers
 from
 its
 intentions; 
it
 is 
arguably 
their 
finest 
and 
most 
cohesive 
piece
 of
 work 
to 
date.


CULT OF LUNA 
will 
be 
returning 
to 
the 
live 
arena 
for 
a 
full 
European
 tour,
 with
 a 
new
 set 
of 
dates 
just 
announced 
in 
April
 &
 May
 in
 addition 
to 
the 
previously 
announced 
period 
around 
the 
album’s
 release 
in 
January 
& 
February. 
There 
are US
 dates being 
planned 
and
 the 
band 
intend 
to 
tour 
further 
in 
late 
2013.

All
 currently 
announced tour

can 
be
