Swedish metal band with members from Luleå and Umeå.

The band was formed in 1998 by Klas Rydberg and Johannes Persson after the Swedish hardcore band Eclipse (22) broke up. Cult of Luna's sound has progressed from early material being heavily doom metal influenced to one much less aggressive and more concerned with orchestration. Fans and critics have termed this sound post-metal.
