Cult of Luna Detail New Album, Unveil Lead Single “Cold Burn”: Stream
Cult of Luna have detailed their new album, The Long Road North, arriving February 11th via Metal Blade.

The first time in decades. We needed a meeting of minds, a coming together psychically. We were literally going back to the drawing board looking for some depth, heart and soul with which to compl...
