Cult Of Luna & Julie Christmas - "The Wreck Of S.S Needle" (Official)

[@jaym2112]

Good God... I was sitting at work, listening to an auto-playlist based on Pelican, listening to a bunch of mediocre stuff that was only good for background noise. This song rose up out of nowhere like Akasha, Queen of the Damned, and burst my temporal lobe into flames. Best song I've heard in a long time ... Several years at least...

[@kanerogers7717]

YOU'VE GOT TO SPIT TO SEE THE SHINE

[@FreakishPower]

I overdosed on this song in 2018 and now I am all over it again. Absolutely perfect vocals and music. Stuck in my head after a few years of absence.

[@ADT2695]

What’d you overdose on, if you don’t mind me asking?

[@leezy7787]

@@ADT2695 I believe OP is comparing the song to a drug.

I’m back for more too…

[@christinag2919]

I've listened to this around 100 times since yesterday, incredible

[@handler_music]

oh, I've listened to this around 100+666 times and now my head hurts. Goin through my head like vicious worm, cant pull it out

[@jamiey5779]

Yup!

[@minorminormajor9702]

damn this is great. heavy music is so much easier to listen to, without some skinny dude trying to sound like the devil. i'm glad these guys know music can be powerful without using dime store evil. love her voice!

[@ZrodyApo]

I've listened to this song at least twice a day since its release

[@ryanschroeder881]

she has amazing control which for me makes her amazing even her earlier music she out sang the whole band only the drummer for me stood out a small amount ( battle of mice ) she is way too underrated better than most female metal singers i hear

[@kanglongshankz3313]

Love all of Cult of Luna's albums but this collab is something else. This is surely their best song.

[@peacexisxfree]

i don't think they could've chosen a better vocalist for this album. such emotion...

[@leylandbottomley6410]

Best metal vocal performance ever.

[@robpiy91]

The best album of these guys so far! Mostly due to Julie's unbelievable singing. I simply LOVE her voice! Fits perfectly to this music.

[@biorythmicshifter]

This is the best use of female vocals in an extreme song I’ve ever heard...

[@Guolf1005]

Woke up with this song in my mind, listened to it a couple times before going to work, hum some parts of it while at work, on the way back home I played it another time aaaaand here I am sipping a beer and listening to it again :)

[@mobiusx2070]

This song is a masterpiece

[@lewismorrison2213]

7:44 I love the fact she lets out a small scream there, whether intentional or accidental. It just shows she's not even trying to contain her voice. That's what gives this song so much power. Amazing!

[@daikimizu9324]

The vocal madness in the background that follows after, blends so perfectly with the chorus, a chaotic and yet beautiful outro.

[@CryAboutHEAT]

"whether intentional or accidental" lmao, you know how long they spend mixing songs before releasing them?

[@getsugar6411]

Seen her do it live too! If the studio recording was unintentional she sure embraced it afterwards. What a fantastic song.

[@elinanalogina4275]

My dad i never met been in and out of prison all my life (29 at the time i was) and he died suddenly and i came across this and downed 3 bottles of wine and listened to this NONSTOP. nothing sounded more relatelable and never will. This tune always have and will resonate

[@ear8642]

I am grateful that this song exists so that i can process negative emotions ❤

[@VerdeletVIII]

This album is MIND BLOWING

[@evilii]

It's almost 9 years in and the song (and the album) hits me like it was fresh from the shelf! Just so good!

[@sophietheinfallible8907]

I can't stop listening to this! Julie Christmas has the most amazing voice, I'm in love.

[@vasilislemon7842]

6.48 MY GOD!!!....WHAT A PERFORMANCE👍

[@agustinturrisi]

The intro it's like passing through. Perfect combination of anger and tranquility

[@mremppu94]

Oh man, the hype is getting to a new level!! April 8th, get over here already!

[@mremppu94]

Well I've commented on a lot of places, for example Fallujah - The Void Alone and a couple TAP videos. It is a shame that they aren't as known as they should be.

[@shanepereira5370]

I know, right... TAP are one of my favourite bands. A Promise of Snakes still makes me shiver after all this time.

[@hugoaqf]

Shane, i'm can'tt found that TAP band, can you help me? i'm curious.

[@CBWBS]

Saw them live at Damnation on 07/11/2016, and they completely blew all of the other bands out of the water! Fantastic to watch!

[@stellakritikou4366]

I've looped this like 854 times. PERFECTION.

[@albertvila5294]

This song is simply spectacular. Best song of the whole 2016 for me.

[@yoco90]

I can't begin to describe how much I love her voice..fuck

[@larseckardt_nl]

Just when I thought I was out... They pull me back in. Just pre-ordered the Mariner LP and Salvation on vinyl too. Says it all.

[@BesiPanas]

The members of his squad grow thick A testament to “get rich quick” No sign of mismatched features Secondary organs from within So on command they open Winding clockwork sirens as they come Scramble the rock face through the glare of morning sun - to run Your time is costlier than fine The wreck of S.S. Needle Simpletons that want all in and Render horror feeble Splinters always hide under the skin From glitter of the pin To brave a friend in battle comes The thimble with his sign You’ve got to spit to see the shine Let me see you run this gamut blind Your voice, it shakes You smile so dryly Let us see and touch you lightly The moon is so unseemly, bright Cut your hair off Watch all night Splinters always hide under the skin The battle of the thimble and the pin Put me down where I can see you run Your time is costlier than fine The wreck of S.S. Needle Simpletons that want all in and Render horror feeble Knees go down and up in time To sleep in foreign seaswell “Silence while we cross this spine Ring out the warning bell!” You’ve got to spit to see the shine Let me tell you - run and try to hide Put me down where I can see you run

[@christam24]

that female vocalist is crazyyy!! X) i love her also the instrumental work is amazing, so subtle yet menacing - in a good way.

[@NicolasFoucaud]

Fantastic vocal performance

[@Emokidbleedblue]

Absolutely Sick! Julie's voice is like no other.

[@onurkaran1736]

Gece gece ne keşfettim ben böyle. Mükemmel bir parça bu.

+Bruno Gaia Pretty sure Julie is as "post" as any artist can ever be.

[@Dangerr325]

+Bruno Gaia Have u heard Zofia from Obscure Sphinx? :)

[@URCFTW]

[@Saru-yr3qk]

Cerce is also pretty on point if you're looking for harsh female vocals over heavy music.

[@lobstring]

you might enjoy foxtails' style as well

[@ganondorfchampin]

Just how girlish her voice is makes it even more brutal.

[@michaelrhyman9551]

wwaaaaaaa... this is one of the best singing lines i´ve ever heard... i think i will steal it... :D... just hear the steps downstairs...

[@donpablo73]

This song fucked me up from scratch! This was and is the most epic collaboration of the last decade! Thank You guys for those closed eye moments I always have when hearing this song! Raw fucking energy!

[@daikimizu9324]

It goes from 0:01 the deep and dark drones of the intro, to 7:43 a pure unfiltered raw chaos only comparable to that of a collision between two planets.

[@Agadoom95]

This live was perfect!

[@Keikaran]

Never too late to say : MASTERPIECE !

[@doomerius1300]

Fuck!!!

[@hpefidra]

The drumming is superb on this song. Love it.

[@schnorzl3132]

Mariner is going to be a serious masterpiece. In consideration of the last albums one should say that Cult of Luna is a serious masterpiece intrinsically.

[@Ak0tnik]

+Käpt'n Brass Yep. I can't recall any album from them that isn't a masterpiece.

[@ilikehiroshima]

Somewhere along the highway is their only great album.

[@BADC0FFEE]

+Thomas Wooster Salvation and Eternal Kingdom are fucking great too, but I can agree that Vertikal wan't that impressive

[@gabehugh343]

Vertikal is their psychedelic experimental outting. I think all their albums are great and unique in their own ways.

[@colincrompton1408]

The only steadily evolving band around right now. The fact that this band is around in my lifetime at all is good enough for me. I've caught every US tour they've made, and I still well up when they play Ghost Trail.

[@robertol1348]

Wohooow! Love CoL AND Julie/Battle Of Mice... Now THIS can be historic. Just not sure yet if I'll miss his vocals...

[@leperwitch]

I'm waiting on a Julie Christmas/Mike Patton collaboration. That would really be something.

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

God, I've been hoping for that for years. She seems to have faded off the scene for the most part.

Oh baby. Just when you thought CoL had peaked (by their own admission) and were done, we get this. From the very first album listen this song stood out to me. At 4 listens i'm already getting goosebumps. Time to put this one on youtuberepeat.
