Building on twenty years of creating some of the most epic emotive and inventive heavy music unleashed on the world there is no denying that Cult Of Luna s A Dawn To Fear is a monster of a record. An album comprised of eight tracks running seventy-nine minutes it embodies everything the band s faithful have come to expect from them while covering new ground. From the ominous drone and hammering drums that herald the start of opener quot;The Silent Manquot; through to the collapsing crescendo of quot;The Fallquot; that ends the record there is not a moment wasted. Since their inception Cult of Luna have had a peerless capacity for being able to shift effortlessly between moods switching from aching melancholy to sinister in an instant before bringing the sky crashing down with pulverizing riffs a moment later doing so in a natural and unforced way and always achieving maximum impact.
