archiced Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) PO is up on KRM : https://eu.kingsroadmerch.com/metal-blade/artist/?id=960 US PO will be up lately https://www.metalblade.com/cultofluna/ Cult of Luna "The Silent Man" (A Dawn to Fear pt. 1) On September 20th, Cult Of Luna will release their new album, A Dawn to Fear - the band's first material under their sole name since 2013's Vertikal 1&2. 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. "Going into the process, we knew the album we wanted to make, an antithesis of what we've done before," says vocalist/guitarist and lead songwriter Johannes Persson. "For pretty much every album there's been a very concrete theme. We've known from the start the kind of story we wanted to tell, and I didn't want that to be the case. I've seen a lot of subtle changes and patterns in my own behavior and my own thinking the last couple of years, and I wanted this to be a completely spontaneous process. I just wanted to see what came out of me, and 'A Dawn To Fear' is the result of that."

Portsi Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Thanks! Seems to be about 12 different color variants? Some of them look really beautiful. Can't wait to order. archiced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solitaryreign Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 That’s an awful lot of variants, I’m going to spend way too much money today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portsi Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Yeah, EU store pre order now up. Got the artbook, splatter and 180g black. Cult Of Luna is the only band that i am willing to spent this kind of stupid amounts of money. Album will be massive. 79 minutes and even heavier than Vertikal and Mariner! Nice!

solitaryreign Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Seems like either the blue and/or dark grey will be US exclusive, since they’re not available at KR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxstatic Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Looking at the amount of variants available it wouldn’t surprise me if there is an ‘eBay exclusive’ like they did with the latest Sacred Reich release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdoctor Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Splatter here too. KRM exclusive, and just 100 available. I bet it'll go fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizio59 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) The splatter disappeared/sold out from KRM. I’m glad I got one. Edited July 31, 2019 by fizio59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portsi Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) What?? Did the EU colored variants sold out already? Cant be? They are now all gone from the store. That was faaast... I would think that the artbook will be sold out too before official release date. Edit: EMP store has some variants left: https://www.emp.co.uk/search?q=A+dawn+to+fear Edited July 31, 2019 by Portsi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solitaryreign Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Nah, I think they have a problem with the store. They even pulled the black now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Yeah this is frustrating, I want to get that 180g black before it's gone. EMP has a black but doesn't mention it being 180g or anything. Can anybody advise? Solved! Got the 180g black and the CD. I forgot how awesome that new song is. Wow. What a day.

solitaryreign Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I know it's still early in the game, but does anybody know if there's a chance to get the US releases from somewhere else than Indiemerch with less shipping costs to the EU? They charge 30$ for 2x2LP (blue & clear grey) that adds up to about 100$ for the two, which is about half the price I paid for the seven EU versions. The EU versions are on Nuclear Blast, Napalm and EMP already – does Metalblade do the same in the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Metal Blade released the last ITTCT album, they didn't even allow US residents to buy EU variants. You literally couldn't purchase them if you said you lived in the USA on the checkout page.

Corpsegrind3r Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Glad I got the splatter, some friends hooked me up with the link as soon as it went live. That variant went damn fast, and I foresee it’s gonna go for quite big money in the aftermarket 😪. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugin Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I messed up and missed the black/white splatter. I have, this far, a complete collection of CoL records. If anyone is willing to sell/trade me their copy it would mean the world to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
