Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas - MARINER - Live at De Kreun [FULL]

[@educostanzo]

Her vocals are so incredible. She can sound like an absolutely insane maniac person, but if you listen closely, there's this impression that she is aware and in control of each and every distortion in her voice. Really great concert!

[@davidf7563]

This is exactly how I've tried to describe her vocals. You phrased it better than I ever have, though. When you listen to the subtleties of her singing on the studio album, it's just...terrifying.

[@stevec6427]

I think this is the best heavy female vocal I've ever heard and I'm starting to think I could drop female from that statement

[@stuff778090]

She adds so much to their sound. When I heard that they had stuff without her, I was surprised that it existed.

[@philiphayes7122]

Agree, in control of everything. Incredibly tight and professional. I have seen/been at a multitude of gigs but would have sold my soul to have been at this one.

[@shemsuhor8763]

Truly. Ever. I hope this gets archived and preserved, and when humanity is dead and gone one way or another, this remains.

[@sergeylysenkov4382]

Absolutely agree! Ever since I heard it hasn't left my head. Especially the cygnus song.

replying to this just to let you know she just released a solo album with Johannes doing guitars and occasional vocals. I saw that Thomas was on drums as well but I also saw that it was a different drummer as well (though to me it sounds so much like Thomas's drumming style). hope it scratches the itch for you!

[@WildBCPhoto]

I saw this in England, at Damnation Festival, and it remains to this day one of the greatest musical sets I've ever experienced.

[@SchnitzelKraft]

I just don't get it. Julie Christmas. So out of control and so in control, so juxtaposed and so fitting in, so heavenly and so raw; SHIVERS down my spine. Love it!

[@jasonbarnes2693]

Well said. She’s amazing

[@withinmyself]

I feel like if I was at this show I wouldn't be able to move. I might even cry a bit.

[@marso221]

love how much more the electronics are up in the mix live

[@jasonbarnes2693]

Yeh, definitely. And they’re not overpowering anything either. Great mix

[@rxsheepxr]

This album has legit one of the most epic endings of any media, ever.

[@sfericwaves]

Cygnus is one of the best songs ever written/recorded. Just epic af!

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

No words to describe

[@TheValueOfN]

I'm here because I've just finished listening to it on my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify. I had to add it to so many of my own playlists because I was totally blown away by the epicness of it. Holy SHIT! I'm actually quite emotional right now.

[@joshuasanchezgomez3194]

fuck yeah, im still obssesed

[@alexk9626]

18:35 when she screams "the wreck of s.s. needle" - I FELT IT. She is absolutely astonishing.

[@zm6771]

Better than the album version IMO, the growl makes the line sound even more menacing.

[@traviscue2099]

@@zm6771 Yeah agreed, the raw energy of that track here is far more powerful than the recording

[@fst534]

yes the album version was way to clean and 'plastic'

[@RedSky-vf8bf]

Initially, I didn’t like this album, it was the only CoL album I didn’t enjoy. But after watching this performance, specifically at the same moment when she first sings of the Wreck of S.S. Needle, it suddenly became this incredibly special album to me, from start to finish. Strange how that happens, huh?

[@sieda666]

@@RedSky-vf8bf Similar experience. Now it's one of my favorite albums. I think my initial failure was that I bounced off of her voice without looking into the larger themes and artistic direction of the album and seeing the energy live like this made it all make sense to me when I wasn't willing to have an open mind before.

[@FreakishPower]

If you take a step back your can see how insane this is. Man and woman screaming their brain out.

[@garraya95]

The outro in Cygnus is just indescribable and I still think it’s the greatest finale in a song ever.

[@alex0589]

to an album, even. fucking doomglorious

[@damienslattery1718]

Yes. 100%.

[@stevec6427]

The outro to Wreck of the SS Needle is fairly epic as well

For sure ! I think Dark City Dead Man is also one of the greatest finals , in a different atmosphere

[@anthonychatterton8453]

y'know this is the first time I've ever listened to any Julie Christmas live...I was always kinda worried she just wouldn't sound anything like she does on her albums...I am SUPER glad to see she doesn't disappoint and in fact is even MORE insane live.

In the last couple of years many speak of Courtney La Plante from Spiritbox but I'd give it to Julie any day of the week as a way more diverse, unique and interesting vocalist. La Plante sounds very bland to my ear.

52:03 Is the BOLLOX! 'Epic' doesn't begin to describe how powerful this is! I recommend playing from a few minutes before the time stamp to appreciate the musical and emotional context. Hell, just play from the beginning of Cygnus. Just play the whole concert for that matter.
