Cult of Luna - The Silent Man (OFFICIAL)

[@metalbladerecords]

"The Silent Man" Lyrics: Silence came crawling. There is a man at the door. In the absence of light, we merge with our shadows. Rise and ride my friend. Together we’ll bring on the end. The water seems darker. A scent of fear is in the air. Eyes in every corner. Movements everywhere. Heavy is the burden Clouds roll in to rectify Step by step we falter and all good things must die. The door can’t withstand his voice. With heavy strides he enter. Deliverance at last. He speaks words from the dead. “In dreams I see what is coming. Wolves in man’s clothing. There is no escape for the meek. The ground beneath them is eroding.”

[@__Valt__]

Damn, new Cult of Luna song, new Tool songs, new (last) album from Dirge. Now if Isis got back together, and Amenra released a new album, I would float off the ground.

[@bluejeans5456]

That organ towards the end adds such a huge amount of atmosphere.

[@Mr_Beebird]

I don't really know why, but I get a strong 'apocalyptic wild west' feeling from the song. It's so good. 5:21 is just chilling.

[@VIGLounge]

This song gives me a feel of Salvation and Eternal Kingdom. I can't wait for the full-length. Such an unreal band!

[@xavkoston16]

Totally agree, and there's a bit of Vertikal too :)

[@cyrilfrommars9847]

@@xavkoston16 yes I was thinking also the same, lost in the area of salvation and vertikal! good memories

Can we spotlight the brilliantly evil sounding synth parts in this song? I feel like this needs to be talked about more.

[@neftalimonroy278]

Actually didn't expect less, good job Cult of luna, this song is huge.. you guys never disappoint.

[@bonechimesquad]

Really unique record. Combines the sound of different post-metal sound eras and at the same time has some distinct fast-paced vibe to it.

[@hevybarsy7174]

those progressive ending are always my fav parts of Cult Of Luna. I dont know them much but from what I've heard, they alwayys deliver such quality song endings

[@rezaadrian5620]

Yeah ,you can find that parts on another songs too. Ex; I the weapon, Vague Illusions, Ghost Trail, and Chevron

[@hevybarsy7174]

@@rezaadrian5620 Ghost Trail is the song that got me to know them. They were in a festival in Montreal 3 years ago and I saw only this single song live as it was their last. The outro was just perfect with a very good sound.

[@edtual4224]

Hevy Barsy same here but it was in 2008 , I only saw 2 minutes of it and what a great discovery . The end of dark city and dead man is absolute madness and you should also like “waiting for you”.

This is really rare, subtle and thoughtful songwriting. One of the richest song of CoL. If the album is of the same making............

[@sergioa.9695]

Absolutely agree, one of their best songs in quite some time.

[@FreakishPower]

i dont know this for a fact, but I feel like this was the opening song March 11, 2020 in San Diego at The Brick by Brick, 2 days before lockdown. Best show I've ever been to.

[@detnyeriket]

It was the opening song. I saw them the night before that in Los Angeles and they were absolutely phenomenal

[@FreakishPower]

@@detnyeriket I was seriously considering driving up there so I could see them twice. It was a literal miracle that they came all the way to the west coast. However, I am most proud that I got 2 of my buddies to come with me and try something new and ultimately awesome.

I wasn't expecting such a fast song in the begining for what I'm used to hear from COL, but this is AMAZING!!!! And the middle part: great! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Really excited to see what's coming next!

[@pokemonmandude222]

Beautifully written and I love the composition.

[@jesusdaza2581]

Conozco muy pocas bandas que no tengan un disco malo. Cult of Luna es de esos grupos de los que es muy dificil desengancharse una vez entras en la propuesta que desarrollan. Son emotivos, crudos, grandiosos... Generan atmósferas sonoras que atrapan y enamoran para siempre. Son irrepetibles y nunca bajan el listón, cada grabación es mejor que la anterior.

[@Northwayup]

Finally after all these years, I get the album cover I can relate to.

[@xavkoston16]

The production is awesome as always, that's the only band that have such an "organic" sound for this genre. To me this track is in continuity of Vertikal (Mariner is something appart) but with a bit of the past albums (Eternal Kingdom, Salvation). The Artwork shows it pretty well I think. COL are able to learn from their previous stuff to make their next sounds more complex, dynamic and full of emotions. Each album is amazing in his own way: the sens of details in structures, arrangements and sound identity ( thank you Magnus Lindberg) is on an other level. One of my favourite bands of all time !

[@GonzalezTheLizard]

yeah, they definitely are the leaders in the game in terms of sound and production. superpowerful, yet dynamic and very organic

[@icipher6730]

Define 'organic'.

[@LordVlader]

Magnus Lindberg style of production is definitely one of the most "organic" ones in the metal scene. Check out his other production work, and you'll hear a similar thing. Aoria's album The Constant is a good one.

[@VerdeletVIII]

New CoL?!?!?!?!?! Oh man, May just got reaaaaal amazing.

[@HypnoChode]

Great song, very promising for the album.

[@richardsteffens6159]

Epic post metal is back on the menu boys!

[@Qwerty-ks8dn]

So... does using the "post" prefix excite you?

[@Qwerty-ks8dn]

@Xeph Xen A lot of the songs here repeat sections, which is supposedly a no-no in yer fictional genre. 20 years ago - before hipsterism existed in metal - this music would have easily qualified as progressive metal. But yeah, I know that prog metal isn't hip enough anymore for the insecure hipster crowd, so keep calling this post-whatever. Hey, whatever words help with feeling less insecure and more intellectual, go for it.

[@july5492]

Sounds like alot of projecting. So tell me than, is post-rock a faux hipster genre too? Thats been around for 20 years.

[@rabiatorthegreat6163]

@@Qwerty-ks8dn You could also classify this as melodic death metal or symphonic metal, and all of these would be a little bit true. Good stuff that does not obey some stupid genre limitations.

[@pronginator]

Just a shout out. The music isn't 'my style' but so what. I heard this on the radio late at night on a phoenix arizona radio station (98kupd) on a sunday night and, they played this whole song. All 10 minutes of it. I love how you guys don't give a fvck about a 4 minute outtro (that I love). Nice job ! Always remember, you never know who you will reach with your music. FWIW, I love Adele, Bryan Adams, deftones, Depeche Mode and Gojira. Musicians that actually play real instruments need to unite more, and support each other. I guess I like an 'Atmospheric sludge band from Sweden' now......who would have thought :)

@@metaldog796 I think it was either 2012 or 2013 when I discovered both. Only thing that sucks about being late to the party is that all their vinyl reissues are expensive or hard to come by. I somehow lucked out and found their Godbox EP at a decent price on Discogs. Kinda interesting Refused and Breach were around the same time/scene, yet Refused blew up over here instead. I think Breach fits in perfectly with the likes of Converge or Neurosis.

[@YsharTribal]

In the first part of the song, I feel a sense or urgency that reminds me of climate change....and all big "heavy" changes to come.

[@sebastianjones29]

I really agree with what you say. This song sums everthing that is going on right now

[@wendigockel]

Climate change has always gone on. Even before humans even existed there was climate change. Every Planet has a change of climatic conditions. Just look at Mars. There used to be Oceans. Urgency to act because the climate is changing is the most useless thing anyone could ever have. The mindset is changing because there's money to be made with the current key demographic of the big conglomerates' products and services. Not because all of a sudden everyone likes the colour green. Think. But think right.

Something like that. Post-rock/metal/hardcore, or sludge-rock/metal I suppose. But does it really matter though? I was a music reviewer 10 years ago, but I'm sick of labeling bands nowadays.

@@viktorjohansson4424 Call a band anything, just don't call it "post-metal", that nonsense doesn't mean anything, it's a hipster label.

[@rezaadrian5620]

Cult of Luna incorporated a lot of musical influences in their catalogues, I think. From Doom/Sludge (Cult of Luna,The Beyond , Somewhere Along the Highway era),Hardcore, Crust Punk (Mariner), Industrial music (Vertikal and Vertikal II era), Post Rock (Salvation era) Electronic (Salvation and Vertikal era), and Prog metal (starts from Salvation until Mariner era).
