Cult Of Luna & The Old Wind - Råångest EP (Pelagic Records) 2016
8
By this time it is safe to state that COL are among the greatest in Mount Olympus. But even a veteran band has to have some balls to cover their masters, for expectation is a bitch. While definitely an interesting reincarnation of Amebix’s “Last Will and Testament”, an evidence of Cult of Luna’s high sense of vision, for those familiarized with the band’s catalogue this isn’t exactly jaw-dropping material. Still, it is a great band paying humble tribute to those who came before, and that, my friends, we can only accept with respect and admiration. Quite reminiscent of Neurosis 90s stuff, the two The Old Wind tracks left us salivating for their long awaited second album. Not to diminish Cult of Luna’s work, really, but these The Old Wind tracks here just make the EP!
