daegor Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Cult of Luna is releasing the music to Eviga Riket on vinyl (despite saying they'd never do so). While the DVD that came with the book was oscillating between text readings and music, the vinyl release of Eternal Music is excluding the readings, and emphasizing the music - laden with sadness and melancholy, these rather quiet tunes are closer to soundtrack-music then to the band's usual sonic realms. While Eviga Riket was without doubt a fascinating experience, listening to the music in one go, without interrupting text readings, is a new and entirely different experience. Eternal Music will be released as a 12" vinyl record, along with silk-screened cover art, printed in metallic golden ink on thick 500 gsm cardboard. The backside of the cover sheet shows a new illustration by Joris Vanpoucke that has not been used in the original audio book. 500 copies on special mix-coloured gold / black vinyl and 500 copies on black vinyl (180 gram) Black is 17.00 Euros and 'Black & gold A-side / B-side effect with black splatters' is 18.50 Euros. http://pelagic-records.com/vinyl/ It looks like they will be releasing the audiobook itself on vinyl in a few months as well.

silverburst Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks for the heads-up on this... Slightly left-field release?! I do wish they'd release some live stuff (the live dvd sounded pretty bad for such a good live band). I did actually do a music edit from the DVD off this a long time ago... nice and relaxed atmos pieces. From reading it do you think both are 180g or just the black?

Portsi Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I just wish Earache would repress Eternal Kingdom... But this is great news. I've never really listened Eviga Riket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezagenius Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Shipping is rough to the USA, especially for insured. Might have to wait to see if this shows up at a US distro somewhere. Bummer that the band is going on hiatus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumbercules Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Got mine today. Came bent with the LP scratched to shit on one side. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverburst Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Got mine today too... One of the first new records that I had to wash before even thinking of playing it! Looked like it was packed by a yeti with dermatitis. No inner sleeve also, this comes with just the (rough) paper insert :-( Nice colour though and looking forward to spinning it tomorrow...

hezagenius Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Color variant no longer available on Pelagic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonLies Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Looks like I spent too long deciding whether to get it and missed out. I'll live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm finding I have no desire to spin this, I have the 'Black & gold A-side / B-side effect with black splatters' variant. I'd be willing to let it go for the right price/trade. If anyone is interested PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
