Cult of Luna - The Silent Man (A Dawn to Fear pt. 1)

[@don_dombalak]

This band is really unique, i've been listening to this single and some of the albums on spotify, they really do know how to give the atmosphere to the music.

[@melvinfz0301]

Spotify sucks!! This band deserves to be listened in a physical format.

[@adrianasura6328]

Listen to the albums in order, and in order of release. Prepare to have your mind blown.

[@jbasti227]

Whenever I listen to Cult of Luna, I slowly feel my soul drift from my body

[@elalbert942.0]

In 2018, The Ocean drop a fantastic album. Now it's Cult of Luna time to give us another Post-Sludge medicine. 🖤

[@adrianasura6328]

Cult of Luna really know how to compose. Not only do they understand recurrence of themes, they know how to give each album an overarching musical concept. It took several albums into their discography before I realized how tremendously talented this band is. This, and new Tool, have made my year!

[@fcamiola]

Definitely. Opeth fan too? Meshuggah?

[@guillermomercadobravo3619]

Totalmente una obra maestra de canción que se complementa con la calidad y trama del video. A decir verdad yo no conocía a la banda, sin embargo, siempre trato de escuchar todo lo que produce Metal Blade, gracias a ello, he conocido bastantes bandas, pero debo decir que "Cult of Luna" me ha dejado totalmente impactado con esta canción, realmente se siente la inspiración, a la par que la historia avanza, crea esa atmósfera donde se pueden percibir sentimientos encontrados de melancolía, culpa y desesperación, las transiciones se logran con armonía y total coherencia, mientras que las partes mas melódicas en conjunto con el video te envuelven por completo en un ambiente de cierta incertidumbre entre felicidad y tristeza. Definitivamente seguiré de cerca a la banda y espero con ansias su nuevo álbum!

[@METALLiCMETALLEr]

Que buen review

[@ayuxx10]

Ahh, I love Cult of Luna. So happy to finally have a release date for the new album.

[@1986wehttam]

This band just understands the construction of music to tell a story. I've never heard a band so easily be able to write well constructed songs on a consistent basis. They seem to follow a more classical form of song structure instead of the modern verse chorus verse chorus.

[@adrianasura6328]

They're the best composers in the biz.

20 September is my birthday, I couldn't expect a better gift in my entire life

[@alex-plorateur793]

Some weebs will raid the area 51 for you ! Isn't it awesome ?

[@TWA1130]

I have been listening to Cult of Luna for years and love all of their work. I really appreciate their approach and the fact that they don't waste any minutes with filler. They have a knack for nailing the moody slower-interludes as well. I remember going on a mountainous drive and turning on "Echoes" from Salvation on the way down for a friend and I. I was already persuaded but that melding of moments really sunk it home for me.

[@franlovelsimic8421]

And finally we got a date, 2019 was such a treat (so far) for nearly every genre out there and CoL is the icing on the cake!

[@sumitsoniFinalaSSault]

79 minutes long record. Long live COL \m/

[@inalingthedead]

Just one minute shy of Tools up and coming masterpiece!

[@entertherealmofchaos]

The house at the start of the video is the same as the one used as an album cover by the band Anekdoten for the LP " Until All The Ghosts Have Gone". It is one of my favourite albums, I would recommend a listen. Towards the end of the song I could make out a little Anekdoten influence 👍

[@Fantin_DRLCT]

The first time I listened to the song, I was swept away by it: you guys did it again, even after 'Mariner' which is one of my fav records ever. I saw that a video was released for it later, and I finally found the time to play it today. That is stunning from every point od view. It brings a whole nee dimension to this fantastic song. I can't wait for the 2nd part, and for the whole album

[@h0pesfall]

This year will be amazing. New CoL album and new Tool album.

[@lucafernicola]

Yeah!!!!... And also new Norma Jean album!!... Super cool!!

[@TWA1130]

Definitely a good year art wise. I imagine my head banging and my workouts will be that much more intense. I think Deftones might release an album as well.

[@h0pesfall]

@@TWA1130 I love the Deftones. But everything after White Pony was just average imho.

[@AlleyCrockett]

5:30 - Favourite part

[@submarineautist]

Wow. This is amazing. One of the best things I saw and heard this year. I am trying to understand the video by reading the lyrics, rewatching the video and using my Philosophy 101-Knowledge and I think I am coming closer. To the band, in case you see this: Thank you. A lot. This is the first thing from you I saw this afternoon and now, evening, I am sure it won't be the last one. Thanks.

[@Thadnill]

Could you try to explain your interpretation of the song and the video? Would be cool to hear your thoughts!

[@DiveTheseClips]

@@Thadnill I am no philosopher, but I have a theory about what's going on in the video. It's pretty simple on the first glance - the old guy is walking through his old house (where he presumably has spent a significant portion of his life) reminiscing about his past, when he was young and he was married. Now, from the tone of the ending of the video it seems likely that his wife has died, thus he's been left alone and is struggling with loneliness, which results in him killing himself by drowning. There might be a deeper meaning to it, but that would require someone with knowledge of philosophy (which I do not posess) to explain. But even then, the video had me in tears. Truely a work of art, the way this story unfolds. And the music fits it so well.

[@blacklodge9794]

@@DiveTheseClips I had a similar perspective, however I think the amulet and the two other men should be addressed. The amulet seems to be a token of release. He puts it around his wife's(?) neck right before she becomes young again. This tells me that she no longer needs to accompany him and sustain him. She is free because he let her go. The man in the night clothes is her unborn child, I think. Stillborn? The other son is mourning himself it appears, so I think that son committed suicide. All said and done, the man had a messed up life, and what we see is the younger version the entire time, perhaps as if to imply he's reminiscing. The old woman, assuming she's his wife, would imply he is in fact much older as well, and this whole experience he's having is the prelude to his death. Letting go. Trusting there is something else and perhaps he might see the ones he lost again.

Salvation is amazing. It's also awesome to watch their years in a day live video they put up on KZbin, which contains many songs from their releasea

I will also suggest starting with Salvation. That was the first CoL record I heard back in high school & I have been a fan ever since.

Listen their albums in order of release. Each album has an overarching theme.

Amazing, so fucking amazing

[@Aenigmakil]

Been a Lunatic since The Beyond was fresh and those first three albums will always be flawless to me. At the time Highway came out, I was so disappointed with it but over the years it has grown on me and I came to appreciate the Radiohead-isms of that release. The next two releases were okay but Mariner was the first album since Salvation that really impressed me. I hope this new album will be even better but we'll see.... this song was a good one but at 10 minutes, personally I'd prefer more variation and sounds (growls and cleans....) along the journey. Otherwise, I just wonder why the song wasn't done in half the time. But anyway, quality band. Let's here this new album!
