Top 15 Cult of Luna songs

CoL rule. I revisited some of their albums after a while and I just wanna express how awesome they are. All the albums are special and all of them are the best as a whole, but there are stand out tracks. In this list I wanted to include some of their most beloved pieces, but also some of my personal favourites that don't receive much hype.
1Cult of Luna
Somewhere Along the Highway


DIM

Inexpressible piece of music. Every note of every instrument is right where it should be. Minimalistic but efficient drumming. Climax is insane.

Stand out detail: Those two extended breaks during the final riff are great. I also love those weird electronic samples at the end.
2Cult of Luna
Vertikal


IN AWE OF

Everything great about Vertikal transformed into 10 minutes of perfection. An epic masterpiece. Climax is insane #2.

Stand out moment: When the melody kicks in at 4:12, aaaargh.
3Cult of Luna
Somewhere Along the Highway


FINLAND

Yeah, SATM is my favourite album, quite unexpectedly. I love how this song absolutely doesn't care about the classic post-rock/metal gradation stereotype (although CoL use it in other tracks in the best way possible).

Stand out detail: That little synth at 4:03
4Cult of Luna
Somewhere Along the Highway


DARK CITY DEAD MAN

You'll probably crucify me for not putting this song on top and I get it. Highest level of epicness possible.

Stand out moment: Those four kicks at the end feel like punches in the head.
5Cult of Luna
Salvation


WAITING FOR YOU

You wait for six minutes and then what you get is the best section of the album.

Stand out detail: Of course that break at 6:09.
6Cult of Luna
Eternal Kingdom


GHOST TRAIL

It's impossible not to like this song.

Stand out moment: theeeeee kiiiiiiiiiiiiing
7Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas
Mariner


CYGNUS

Another great album closer. Amazing collaboration.

Stand out moment: 8:48 booooom
8Cult of Luna
Eternal Kingdom


CURSE

This is their bleakest songs for me. Every theme used there is so good.

Stand out detail: The organ sound makes the song for me. So tasty.
9Cult of Luna
The Beyond


CIRCLE

That intro is a tear-jerker. Then the heavy shit comes and it's heavy as hell

Stand out moment: Synth in the intro and then 4:09. Did I tell you I like synths?
10Cult of Luna
The Beyond


FURTHER

Minimalistic and brutal, harmonically obsessive. Yet another massive closer.

Stand out moment: The groove that comes at 4:33
11Cult of Luna
Salvation


ECHOES

It's here thanks to the intro, of course.
12Cult of Luna
Cult of Luna


SLEEP

I wanted to include all albums and this song is killer.
13Cult of Luna
Salvation


LEAVE ME HERE

This song stays in me eversince I saw Johaness breaking his guitar and keyboards and jumping into the crowd at Beyond the Redshift concert in London. Best concert closing I have seen, probably ever.
14Cult of Luna
The Beyond


ARRIVAL

Heaviest album of all time, period.
15Cult of Luna
Vertikal II


O R O

Simple but effective. Especially the part after 1:42 with its subtle variation of the Vertikal melody. I know there are many tracks that could be on the list instead of this, but this works on me so well.
