So one year since this record came out, and it's definitely one of my favorites. I the week that my cat died was when this was released and it was very fitting for how I was feeling, because she was basically my reason for sanity during a very dark part of my life that was ruled by alcohol and self loathing. When she died I was worried I wouldn't be able to control myself and start drinking again, and then this album came out with the title "A Dawn To Fear" and it just hit so perfectly. It helped me see that I was too afraid of living with almost nothing (or so I thought) and I decided to make a change in my life and start practicing being more grateful for the things I have and the relationships I have.
You have to learn to love yourself and be grateful for everyday that you get to try again and make it better. I’m very happy to hear your tale of success and growth. Life is a journey. Enjoy it.
@@MrSmallpoxSatan easy said, when one desaster/death follows the next or even overlap. I think you also have no idea about heavy depressions. I don't like your hipppie comment, sorry. Some people struggle their whole life.
@@motorge u will learn soon enough, that failing yourself everyday and hiding behin your fears and depression gets you nowhere in life. the best way to actually fight depression is to work on yourself and make progress. doesnt matter how fast.
This band got me through the worst of times. I'm thankful to be alive because of this music. Every single record has been such a blessing to music. Thank you guys
Brilliant album, like all of their records made at a high level of professionalism and creativity. Partially reminded me of the Somewhere Along The Highway and Salvation
@@amolinya There is no best COL song, this band has build its towers so high. There is no difference in the brilliance thy produce. Everything col touches transforms into heavenly music.
Definitely their best since salvation and somewhere along the highway. I think to truly understand how great these guys are is to see them live. I saw them 6 years ago and no one has topped them since. They have an amazing light show and they create an atmosphere like no other band you’ll ever see live.
The more i listen the more that i realize how much i truly love this band. The sounds that they make are like none other. Their sound reaches deep into the soul.
When I listen to Cult, it feels like home. Like a cat purring, it's soothing. Saw them twice and it's something you have to do in your life. Their show at La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris was amazing!
I love that this is the same band that created Mariner with Julie Christmas. This is different, yet has some of the same themes. More mature, controlled, thick, heavy, assured. Thanks Cult of Luna for keeping on!
So epic ! Almost 2 years later and i still have goosebumps on that melodic guitar, so beautifull and dark at the same time. Will listen to this song for the rest of my life !
See you here in Milan guys. December 3rd, 2019. Northern Italy winter, misty and wet, will be a good setting for this sound. I will close my eyes standing in front of the soundboard and enjoy each vibration of your performance with my whole body. Luna therapy
So happy I was able to see Cult of Luna live before the pandemic. I'll forever see this as the soundtrack to the apocalypse. My neck is still a little tweaked from the headbanging. \m/
@@OlMoldy Saw Slayer with Hatebreed opening indoor venue*Toad's Place, New Haven, Ct.) Kids ripped down fence barrier that kept under/over 21 apart. Sickest pit of my life!
@@VulgrimOfficial Hm, donno what to think about that comment. Since then, i like to listen to it, but it never clicked. Lights of the Hill was really fiting as a closer, as a musical piece.
Downfall of gaia, hath, shadow of intent, mgła, false, mizmor, warforged, monolord, infant annihilator, humanity's last breath. The new car bomb comes out next week. Not metal but a bunch of 90's punk bands have/are dropping albums this year. Lagwagon being one of them... I'm missing a shit ton though.
I regret not driving down to SF for the show that I HAD A TICKET FOR to see Cult of Luna right before the pandemic-pandemonium. Glad I threw some support to the band by buying a ticket anyway. Thanks for being awesome.
Better than I could have ever hoped for! It's crazy how much hype Tool are getting for their damp squib of a new album (and I'm a fan!) when this masterful work seemingly appears to be going under the radar. Unfair!
Your are right , and your are also not. Tool is much more "popular music". Lots of my friends who are die-hard fans of Tool havent ever heard about this unique band, Cult of Luna. I showed them, now they really like them. I think Tool also made a very good album...and i think those so much years to wait made that hype big enough. I'm just happy that we have so much good music in 2019!
Out of all of the new albums that have dropped so far, including the new tool, this album is by far my favorite out of all of them. It's just too bad it won't get the recognition that some of the others have.
Je prefere raging river! Les guitares sont plus présentes, le chant est plus présent et meilleur! Il y a une bonne construction, ils vont direct à l' essentiel sans traîner en longueur comme ils font sur a down to fear! Je trouve que vertikal 1 est lui aussi meilleur!🎸🎵🎶
So, welcome! It takes time to get used to metal, some may sound too harsh, and complex at the beginning, difficult to listen to if you are not used to listening metal... A lot of metal styles/bands require time to start loving them... Then, once you are there, no going back ;) In my case, I didn't know Metal until I was a teenager. Before I always said that I really didn't like music... I haven't listened to any. Now I know I love MUSIC.
I was fortunate enough to catch them a couple of weeks ago and you nailed it. The synergy on the album is present during their live set. They played with two drummers and it was mindboggling how in sync they were, let alone the rest of the band. Hope you get the chance to see them. You won't regret it.
All these comments comparing CoL's new release to Tool's new album. Enjoy both bands! Good music doesn't have to compete. P.S: Favorite song is "Lights on the Hill." I've listened to the album four or five times already, and reviewers have said the track should be shortened. I say, "Sacrilege!" I could listen to 45 more minutes of CoL, and still not be satisfied, they're so talented.
There's been questions why is 2019 the best year in metal. Here is a comprehensive-ish list of 2019 releases you should check out right now: Albums: Fallujah, Baroness, Torche, Monolord, the Ocean, Opeth, Misery Index, Vitriol, Pelican, Russian Circles, Redscale, Sacred Reich, Tool, Saint Vitus, Cult of Luna, Sunn O))), Destrage, Lucifer, Dreadnought, Inter Arma, Blackstar riders, Tau Cross, Insomnium, Amon Amarth, Alcest, Lacuna Coil, Rings of Saturn, Batushka, Coffins, Brutus, Cloudkicker, Big Business, Candlemass, Kadavar, Spirit Adrift Live albums: Windhand EP: High on Fire Singles: Pallbearer, Mastodon, High On Fire (thin lizzy cover) The important thing is that a lot of these are AOTY contenders! Thats why its been so amazing. These are some of the best albums by these bands.
You're missing Target, Plaguebringer, Warforged, Eschaton, Signs of the Swarm, Numenorean, Allegaeon, Omophagia, Infant Annihilator, and probably some others.
Ok Metal Blade you got The Ocean, Intronaut, and Cult of Luna on your roster, all releasing highly anticipated albums within an earshot of each other. Will we see these 3 post beasts tour on the same bill in 2020??
Can't wait to see you performe Live at Technikum Munich 12/5/19...LOVE MARC ❤️ 🎸... And thank you for the Amazing Support from AA.WILLIAMS and Brutus.... 😘 🌹.. Visions Magazine was right.. Amazing Brillant New Album... 🎶....
Amazing album, as Johannes said, we can clearly feel that those riffs came straight out of his heart, the result is more natural, more organic, previous album seems to be more "organized and calculated" (not in a bad way). If you care about details you can ear every single signature that has make COL's sound during all these years. I fucking love the drums on this record, a perfect balance between natural/groovy playing and cold/hypnotik parts !

This is a gem. Seriously. Tragic, tortured, dark and beautiful
Brilliant album, like all of their records made at a high level of professionalism and creativity. Partially reminded me of the Somewhere Along The Highway and Salvation
Definitely Somewhere Along the Highway.
Agreed, I'm getting an old style vibe from this one for sure.
Somewhere Along The Highway and Salvation are their bests
"The fall" was the best way to close the album and its melody is always stuck on my head.
The Fall could be their best track so far.. and after 20 years of great music this is an unexpected present they made us.
dark city dead man still exists
@@amolinya There is no best COL song, this band has build its towers so high. There is no difference in the brilliance thy produce. Everything col touches transforms into heavenly music.
Amazing album start to finish. COL is one of our biggest influences
Nightwalkers is probably one of the best Cult of Luna songs ever.
Yeah that song is amazing!
God, its make me feel like I was listening to Hopesfall's Satellite Years. so good.
Just hearing the album for the first time..on Nightwalkers now...it’s incredible.
oh my gosh i cant stop listen it
It's awesome and very catchy, but, from my personal taste, I would not sure that I would consider it better than Finland
Lights on the Hill is so damn good. I love this album!
Definitely their best since salvation and somewhere along the highway. I think to truly understand how great these guys are is to see them live. I saw them 6 years ago and no one has topped them since. They have an amazing light show and they create an atmosphere like no other band you’ll ever see live.
All the album is mind blowing but "A Dawn to Fear" gives me thrills every time I listen to it. Just beautiful.
Yes bro.... YES
Whenever I hear a thick bass sound right in the beginning, I understand it is going to be a nice audio journey.
Just discovered this band I'm flipping out
The more i listen the more that i realize how much i truly love this band. The sounds that they make are like none other. Their sound reaches deep into the soul.
Making the world better. One album at a time.
When I listen to Cult, it feels like home. Like a cat purring, it's soothing. Saw them twice and it's something you have to do in your life. Their show at La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris was amazing!
Ahh yes,Finally only seen Neurosis once next on my list would be Amenra,The Ocean ,cult of luna,Uffomamut ,Briqueville!!!
I agree that this band has a comforting type of brutality
@@IRieAsAVirus37 I already had the chance to see COL 3 times, but Amenra must be an amazing experience.
I love that this is the same band that created Mariner with Julie Christmas. This is different, yet has some of the same themes. More mature, controlled, thick, heavy, assured. Thanks Cult of Luna for keeping on!
This is surely one of the best albums of the year!
Knew they dropped some singles, but didn't listen to them and coincidentally stumbled upon this new release. Can't wait to devour this behemoth.
The Fall is so good it hurts.
I was just thinking that about Nightwalkers...and then I scroll down and see this comment.
So epic ! Almost 2 years later and i still have goosebumps on that melodic guitar, so beautifull and dark at the same time. Will listen to this song for the rest of my life !
The sheer POWER of Cult of Luna

How's that neck? I went to Slayer with my dad and chipped my knee cap. It hurt for a year, but I didn't feel it till the next day
@@OlMoldy Doing really well, man. A lifetime of dulling those nerve endings. Lots of stretches, some yoga, and I'm good. Slayer farewell tour?
So true man. Even the lyrics on some songs relate. They were incredible live

im a little disapointed about it for now, hope it will change, cause i can't see anything special with this closure right now.

Incredible piece of art!
Rich sounding and full of perfect angst.Turn the lights off,turn the volume up and travel.
Thank you Cult Of Luna!
What a great year for metal..wow \m/ \m/
The final three minutes of "The Fall" still send shivers down my spine
This album was all I listened to for several months. Perfect go-to album for any mood.
A meditation
I regret not driving down to SF for the show that I HAD A TICKET FOR to see Cult of Luna right before the pandemic-pandemonium. Glad I threw some support to the band by buying a ticket anyway. Thanks for being awesome.
Masterpiece ! From 00:00 to 01:19:10
This entire album is such an amazing musical work of art that will carry us through the dark times ahead until the world ends and beyond

cant stop listening to this album, it's so damn good.

I’m not a huge metal fan. Came because of a recommendation. Wanted to feel out the community and so far it’s absolutely lovely here.
Well get back where you came from you filthy casual! Just kidding lol, welcome to the (what can be) amazing metal community!
So, welcome!

Great album! "Nightwalkers" and "The Fall" are most liked tracks
Inland Rain is wonderful song. One of the favorites on this album. Guitar riff from 1:01:50 reminded me Katatonia. :)
I can hear what you mean
Puissant et profond, un pur kiff !!
Si simple et si fouillé à la fois.. Une référence..
This is amazing. The textures are perfect.
I have to listening it , many times.
First times was difficult but now i change opiniom.
Great album so far..
10:11 Deftones riff
This album is in a class of its own.
Amazing journey ...
A masterpiece, no doubt. This is magic.
Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah brought me here.
This album has some killer tracks.
You have no idea how many killer tracks this guys have yet.
He did the same for me about 10 years ago. And I am beyond thankful. Still my favorite band
A down to fear is the most incredible piece of work that this band has made.
a raw abyss full of foggy darkness; great work
Simplesmente maravilhoso !!!
36:45 this is beautiful 🤘🏻
Well, wow. This was nice to stumble across today. What an opener. Can't wait to get through the rest.
Oh, I'm back here. Hi past me. I need to order this on vinyl.
One of their best....
excellent album, wonderful sound very original, thank you very much cult of luna.

When that slide guitar comes in at 21:51 on "A Dawn to Fear." Damn.
Similar to dark city dead man and I mean that in the best possible way!

Astounding release! Looking forward to repeated listens, along with Mgla and a swathe of others that I have in rotation.
Perfect timing for a trip so stoked to hear this.

I fucking love the drums on this record, a perfect balance between natural/groovy playing and cold/hypnotik parts !
I going to see them at Warsaw in December.
Cant wait ...
Super simplistic, but that's where the beauty in this album is. Just straight up groovy and experimental without being obnoxious or pretentious.
LOL. MORON.
Actually, what's inspiring is how much use of silence they make with a six-person band. It's hard to get everyone to shut up at once.
