Sweden's post-metal band CULT OF LUNA has released the new single "A Way Back" from their upcoming tenth studio album, "In The Shadow Of Your Shadow," set for release on November 6 via RED CRK Recordings. The album marks a dark and expansive evolution in the band's sound, featuring a 71-minute runtime that rejects musical trends and conventional formats. The title track and lead single explores themes of buried emotional trauma, portraying anguish as a parasitic force that returns after painful events. The record draws on recent personal experiences of loss, with lyrics reflecting on how past wounds resurface over time.
" The album was co-produced by Daniel Berglund and mixed by Magnus Lindberg. " The band has also collaborated with artists such as Mark Lanegan and Justin Broadrick, and curated the genre-busting festival Beyond The Redshift. The new record is described as a stark rejection of pandering and a continuation of their commitment to artistic integrity, emphasizing that stagnation is the only thing that scares them.
