Johannes recorded additional vocals at Cult of Luna’s resident studio in Umeå, Sweden, fully capturing the rage of his apocalyptically harsh voice.īorders were built to be shattered. Covid, which postponed the Roadburn festival at which the band would have debuted, gave them time to perfect what they’d crafted. They wrote and recorded together in Paris before the start of the pandemic. “It’s a project that I really want to share it’s not only the fruit of a collaboration between me and one of my favourite musicians, but also very unique and once-in-a-lifetime.” As soon as the pair began work on their boundary-decimating songs, they knew that they had to be immortalised as an album. Walter Hoeijmakers, the artistic director of the Netherlands’ lauded Roadburn festival, approached James ‘Perturbator’ Kent with the opportunity of doing a commissioned piece with any musician of his choosing.
#ONE MORE LIGHT ALBUM FULL#
I was walking around full of anger and hate, so I think that came out in those lyrics.” “Some of my friends were dealing with a poisonous person: a narcissistic, crazy person.
“There was so much that I was so fucking pissed about,” Johannes explains. Lyrically, Final Light seethes with anger. Both parties are clearly playing to their strengths – but for them to do so in such perfect harmony is, in itself, a genre-demolishing feat. The title track’s distorted EDM beats, on the other hand, are all James ‘Perturbator’ Kent, capable of invigorating the seediest of underground nightclubs. “It Came with the Water” echoes Cult of Luna’s 2013 titan Vertikal, invoking images of an urban dystopia as its deep guitar melody grinds beneath sci-fi electronica. Johannes’ roar strikes and guitar chords boom as On its opening track, the insidious “Nothing Will Bear Your Name”, synths bubble to construct an arresting opening half. The pair’s self-titled debut album is the perfect conglomerate between seemingly incompatible sounds. Seismic riffs, earth-quaking growls and brave collaborations with everyone from Julie Christmas to Colin Stetson have ensured they’re as blistering as they are forward-thinking.Įclecticism and violence are married in Final Light: Perturbator’s team-up with Cult of Luna singer/guitarist Johannes Persson. Meanwhile, the Swedish sextet have affirmed themselves as post-metal’s biggest stars. Over the last decade, the French maestro has become the most expectation-breaking name in synthwave, transcending its ’80s video game aesthetic with metal and post-punk. James ‘Perturbator’ Kent and Cult of Luna are the masters of their respective worlds. Includes 3x exclusive prints available only ordering through our shop!
