Swedish "art rockers" CULT OF LUNA will release their first studio album in five years, "Vertikal", in early 2013. The CD is said to be thematically influenced by the film "Metropolis", a hypnotic backdrop of machinery and repetition.
Commented the band: "Before we started writing, we were keen to find a theme that in a very direct way could be shown through the music, and we hope to have achieved this. We developed clear structures — very linear, refusing to over complicate the writing process.
"We realize fans have been waiting for what seems like an age for us to return to the live arena properly, but we were not keen on playing shows before we had the new material ready. There have been changes, and we wanted to come back on our own terms with something completely new. It is very important for us to transpose the idea of a new album into the live setting, to not tread water, and to include the fans in what we’ve been working on; you will be hearing this very soon."

Single stream of I: The Weapon here: http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/cult-of-luna-i-the-weapon-single-stream/
The rusleaks file is not a leak. It’s Weapon, plus a load of shite tech metal, plus Gangnam Style.
The Russian leak is fake.
Thanks for noticing, status has been reset and the user has had their points revoked.
Should of really listened to the thing before reporting it as official. Sorry guys. I had a good lol at it though haha.
It does take forever though, to leak..
Leaked, love it <3
Downloading now. Seems legit but I’m a bit of a skeptic.
Gave the tracks a good skimming over and it seems authentic. Will listen when I get home today.
Also skeptical about this leak. Maybe I’ve listened to SATH too many times, but it doesn’t sound like them. Yet the vocals and the production make me think otherwise.
Maybe I just have to listen again, but I’m not feeling it.
Never mind, it’s legit. Shazam is linking it to Amazon’s entries.
I check the album before reporting, it’s always legit. :)
Jesus, this is.. good. I mean seriously, how can a band be THIS good.
@dodenakker I’ll see them live by the end of January! Loved it.
Where’s the full album man?
You can find it on Get Metal and other sites, google.
all the links are dead on that site
