Cult Of Luna and The Old Wind (The Ocean, etc.) will be teaming for an upcoming split together titled “Råångest“. Cult Of Luna themselves will be covering Amebix‘s “Last Will And Testament” for the release, with guitarist/vocalist Johannes Persson offering:
“I discovered Amebix pretty late but when I did it was like discovering a musical father I never knew I had. The monolith album was before it’s time and deserves much more recognition for being on the musical fore front. It’s harsh and bleak and was the soundtrack of last winter for me. To cover a song without bringing your own soul into it is completely useless in my opinion so we’ve taken a few liberties with it, hopefully without destroying the essence of it.”
The Old Wind themselves will contribute two new previously unreleased songs. A trailer for the split is available below with an official January 29th release date set via Pelagic Records.
