"The world of the ETERNAL KINGDOM is harsh and hostile and that was something we felt was needed to express through the music. The turn to a harder and heavier sound was also very welcomed on our side after two albums of exploring atmospheric and meditative music."
The recently released artwork of ETERNAL KINGDOM also has a deep connection to the music contained within. "The artwork is inspired by old woodcuts and it is definitely the right way of maintain and amplify the harshness of the ETERNAL KINGDOM. With the Man/Owl king in the middle, it is a perfect visual representation of how the album is going to sound."
CULT OF LUNA recently finished recording their upcoming new album, ETERNAL KINGDOM, at Tonteknik Studios in the band's hometown of Umea. The follow-up to 2006's SOMEWHERE ALONG THE HIGHWAY, ETERNAL KINGDOM will be released on June 16th in Europe and July 8th in the U.S. - LOOK AT THE SHINY NEW ALBUM ARTWORK HERE
