Description

Swedish band Cult Of Luna began their career in 1998 and have ever since seen their fan-base grow by bringing innovative ideas into and thus defining the post metal genre. Their five albums received great reviews without an exception, their first official dvd Fire Was Born came out in 2009. The in February of 2010 the band tried something completely new. The released Eviga Riket, a hardcover book which comes with a complimentary audio book dvd reading the text in two languages: Swedish by actress Sara Arnia, English by Scottish actress Anna Guthrie. Most of the time, there is only the reading voice, but occasional short breaks occur, filled with dark sounds courtesy of Cult Of Luna. The dvd has been subdivided into eight parts running between 4 and 23 minutes. Every part comes with a different background charcoal drawing by Belgian artist Joris Vanpoulke. Eviga Riket tells the tragic story of Holger Nilsson (not to be mistaken for Nils Holgersson) who was – erroneously? – found guilty of his wife’s murder. In prison he wrote his memoir which Cult Of Luna chose to combine with real historical facts. The more literary inclined fans might find the narrative very instructive, but I have to admit that it was all a bit much for me. This is not meant as a criticism but is just the highly subjective view of someone not really into poetry. Cult Of Luna took quite a risk with this project. In 2014 the band decided to release the music part of the audio book without the narration on vinyl, under the title Eternal Music.
