Johannes Persson, guitarist/vocalist for Swedish post-metal outfit Cult Of Luna has joined forces with industrial synthwave artist Perturbator in a new one-time project dubbed Final Light. The collaboration came about via live pairing commissioned by the annual ‘Roadburn Festival‘. A self-titled debut album from the endeavor is headed for a June 24th release on Red Creek and can be pre-ordered here.
Persson commented of his lyrical inspiration for the project:
“There was so much that I was so fucking pissed about. Some of my friends were dealing with a poisonous person: a narcissistic, crazy person. I was walking around full of anger and hate, so I think that came out in those lyrics.”
Pertubator added:
“It was immediate. It’s a project that I really want to share; it’s not only the fruit of a collaboration between me and one of my favorite musicians, but also very unique and once-in-a-lifetime.”
