Swedish post-metal band Cult of Luna share new song, "The Rift"
Cult of Luna have released "The Rift", the latest preview from their upcoming album, In the Shadow of Your Shadow.
"The Rift" arrives as an eight-minute epic from the album, following title track "In the Shadow of Your Shadow" and previous single "A Way Back", exploring the loneliness of the human experience and the pressigng desire to belong.
Speaking about the track, vocalist Johannes Persson says: “'The Rift' is about the loneliness of the human experience and the urgent need to belong, to seek refuge in the collective. There’s a kind of euphoria in knowing your peers’ mantras, in feeling chosen for a greater cause. Those shared beliefs tell you who you belong to. More importantly, they tell you who is excluded.”
In the Shadow of Your Shadow is released on 6 November 2026 via RED CRK
