I remember that night, I was in front of the KISS gig, looked at my program and saw Cult of Luna was playing in few minutes. And I had a vague memory of that name from a list of Josh Middelton (Sylosis) of his all time favourite band. So I left to check them out. Needless to say that I was blown away!!!! But I mostly remember the audience: they (we) were in trance, like a Meshuggah show in slow motion. I'm so happy that I could enjoy them without any expectation, just a raw experience.
Vicarious Redemption may be the best song ever made, look at all of the band members expressions at the outro, and how Johannes really forces every last breath for his screams, incredible!
un concert magique et un de mes meilleurs moments de ce hellfest avec Ghost et quelques autres; pendant ce temps il y a avait Korn mais je ne pouvais pas quitter ce moment de pure bonheur au 1er rang au centre de la scène tel un pantin suspendu et en état de grâce.quel plaisir de revivre ce concert encore une fois.
I'd say CoL is one of the greatest "post" bands ever (no matter what you put behind post by the way, be it Metal, Core, Rock or anything else) They're coming to Paris in three weeks and believe you me I'll be there!
Top 3 bands for me, in no particular order: Iron Maiden! Led Zeppelin! Cult of Luna! Cult of Luna are absolutely sensational with an incredible gift of being inspirational!
Does anyone know why the line-up is so different? There is only one drummer and he is neither Magnus Líndberg nor Thomas Hedlund. Also, the keyboard player is not Anders Teglund and I think one of the guitarists is not the same. As far as I know there haven't been any line-up changes since Klas Rydberg left the band.
even i was thinking the same thing.. well the drummer is Christian Augustin.. the guitarists are the same. it's Andreas Johansson who is missing on the bass. Just look up metal-archives, you'll get everything..
Andreas is playing on that show, guys! The keyboard player has been for the entire Vertikal touring period Kristian Karlsson (playing also in Khoma and pg. lost). I never got a clear answer on Anders but I think he is making movies and can't play live anymore.
They do, there must have been some sort of issue getting them both to this show, as the drummer in this video I have never seen before. Strange, I know...
this is the guy who's usually on stage left/crowd right. their other drummer has at least one other bigger gig (commercially speaking), so it's not at all improbable that he just had to miss this one to play with his other band, etc. dude #2 holds it down, impressively well, though!
I completly understand your comment about the vocals, but notice that those are the kind of vocals used in this kind of music. Isis & Neurosis use the same. Also, they lost their original singer about a year before this gig so it is another factor to take on. The good thing is they somehow listen to your clamour and now have a female singer with them :) and it's really great, she gave them some kind of versatility that they lack in the vocal deparment.
Godflesh is a huge influence of these bands and also use that kind of vocals. I understand that you may not like it but I think that it fits the music perfectly, because of the continous and repetitive atmosphere that they manage to create. Anyway I agree that this is their less high point.

+Ludovic Rossier Bongripper is like Meshuggah in slow motion.

So true! I was there and had a mini-heart attack during this song!
Vicarious Redemption is a show stopper, one of the best bands out there by a long way...
I can't describe with words how Culf of Luna makes me feel.
I: The Weapon
Ghost Trail
Finland
Vicarious Redemption
Owlwood
Dark City, Dead Man
Disharmonia
In Awe Of

Obviously the music kicks ass, which is most important... but I gotta say... really great job, whoever did the lighting, too.
+Sartori not to forget the soundguy / whoever mixed it, sounds really baller!
Hell yeah, it does.
Best live band I've seen.bloody ripper.
come back to Melbourne one day.
Miss you.
My heart can't take this!.... SUPERB!!!!
This is fucking amazing
I'd say CoL is one of the greatest "post" bands ever (no matter what you put behind post by the way, be it Metal, Core, Rock or anything else) They're coming to Paris in three weeks and believe you me I'll be there!
dystopian space opera intro! lovin' every fuckin' second of this live masterpiece!
the lighting is so in rhythm and spectacular
Holly Molly, I havent heard such powerful Ghost Trail version before. Thanks, man!
Cult of Luna.....one of the most amazing metal bands of this generation....FACT !!!!!
In awe of gives me goosebumps every time i listen to it
alejØ Ruiz my favorite
Top 3 bands for me, in no particular order:
Iron Maiden!
Led Zeppelin!
Cult of Luna!
Cult of Luna are absolutely sensational with an incredible gift of being inspirational!
The end of Vicarious Redemption live rules over all.
+seitanisfitness The ending of Ghost Trail is up there with it
this band changed my ear.
thanks for posting this!
saw them live in october and it was an amazing experience!
Such an excellent tone live, it's unbelievably tight too. So beautifully mixed.
I never noticed this until now, but the synthesizer track on "I: The Weapon" could easily fit into a Doom game soundtrack.
still one of the best gigs ever, thank you for uploading this
This is the most epic thing ive ever seen
Great Band
OUTSTANDING!!!!COME TO MANCHESTER ENGLAND!!!!!!
Amazing performance. Must have watched this a dozen times =)
Just try to name a more devastating song than Dark City, Dead Man.
+pauldeg927 vicarious redemption :P
pauldeg927 In Awe Of
+pauldeg927 Can't: it's my favourite song from CoL and one of my favourite songs ever.
greatest band whatever you call it post metal sludge apocalyptic there just flat out a great band
Just love this era of CoL
до сих пор не могу понять почему эти шедевры не очень популярны
по настоящему хорошую музыку слушают, как правило, маленькое количество людей. Массы любят другое
Je suis amoureuse. Encore et toujours. *-*
Музыка бесподобная
Really powerful band, pure genius
Dark city, dead man.
iVomitfulloffASSness - The 6th track is named Owlgod. Thanks.
22:00
*Creams pants.*
Play swedish metal - Dress like a 90's british indie band :D
No disrespect, it's metal as fuck to not dress "metal"!
What a sound, what a (light)show !!!!
Saw them once unfortunately
Vicariousss ;_____;
zajebiste
Зачетная штука! А я раньше никогда не слышал(((
Outstanding..!
(Problem on sound at the 1st song, like nothing happened of course ^^)
♥

ooooooooohhhhh

:)
I thought they had 2 drummers
They do, there must have been some sort of issue getting them both to this show, as the drummer in this video I have never seen before. Strange, I know...

Thought of them like the "metal" version of Radiohead.
no cosplay - nice
lol, crowd can't clap in time (1:04:00ish)
Still a better gig than taylor f***ing swift
man I was jamming til he started singing. dayuum y'all should just play the music
Composition second only to Tool, IMO. Just wish they'd get a better singer, without such a monotone scream.

Isis and Neurosis have more dynamic range. Cult of Luna is very flat.
Godflesh is a huge influence of these bands and also use that kind of vocals. I understand that you may not like it but I think that it fits the music perfectly, because of the continous and repetitive atmosphere that they manage to create. Anyway I agree that this is their less high point.
Did you even read my statement? I do not dislike the style of vocals, I dislike how Cult of Luna delivers them.
Well the female singer is not part of the band officially, they did a record together but it was more a collaboration than being part of the band
