A free download/stream of Justin Broadrick‘s (Godflesh, Jesu) remix of Cult Of Luna‘s “Vicarious Redemption” is available after the break. The original version of the track appeared on the bands newest release, “Vertikal“, which hit stores earlier this year.
Broadrick said of the experience:
“It was both a pleasure and a challenge to work on such an sprawling epic song. (There was) so much material to choose from and to attempt to refocus in my own context, and a challenge to make something new and concise which resonates like the original.”
Cult Of Luna guitarist/vocalist Johannes Persson offered:
“When I was 14 years old, my friend taught my how to play guitar. We spent hours listening to songs and then trying to play them. One of the records he had was the Streetcleaner LP that since has been continuously in my rotation for almost 20 years, so listening to Justin’s remix of “Vicarious Redemption” kind of felt like going full circle. Justin has created something new with the elements of the song which, in my opinion, is the only way to justify a remix.”
