Bumping this for them bucking the post metal trend of delays and wishy washy guitars at the time. Superb album and killer concept. Wouldn't argue with someone fiving this.

Another record, another new direction for Cult of Luna. This one feels like a more subtle version of their first two albums. I personally prefer Salvation & Highway, but this is top-notch post-metal, with "Ghost Trail" being one of the genre's most accomplished songs. I also prefer The Beyond, as I feel the heaviness is best displayed there, and, without "Ghost Trail" and the closer, this would have been their worst album.

This one is a lot earthier, less proggy and far less post-rocky than its two predecessors. It evokes mountains, dirt and rocks. Track 3 is a top-tier CoL track, but the rest of the album's first half is on par if not very slightly above their s/t debut i.e. 3.9 material. The second half from track 6 onwards brings it up a notch though and is pretty much all faves. Overall this album is excellent and should be commanded for having its own feel and taking the band in a different direction. I do subjectively prefer the two preceding albums though - maybe in perfect listening conditions I'd dig that new direction even more? 4.1

I like this album in general, "Ghost Trail" is officially one of my favorite post metal songs, the rest of the album is still good, but I don't think it really steps up from the group's past work, and when it isn't on the same level of the group's past stuff, its ever so slightly worse.

Their most complete work untill now that settles them as one of the top bands of the genre.
Based on a great concept (a diary of a madman found in their recording studio that used to
be a mental hospital) CoL built a record that runs flowlessly from the beginnig to the end.
Their compositions are more mature than ever balancing darkness and heavyness creating a
dark and strifling atmosphere.

Hate to give this album such a low rating but this is a disappointment in comparison to their last three albums. Most of the heaviness from their last albums is gone and replaced by interlude after boring interlude. There are some excellent songs on here, Owlwood, Ghostrail, and Mire Deep but this is not up to par with what they are capable of doing.

This album is slightly heavier and darker than the previous few releases. The topsong this time is “Ghost Trail”, a typical Cult of Luna song that explodes around nine minutes at the time you expect it’s over. The screams of Klas Rydberg are kicking in as if he wanted to drown his wife. At almost the same time, the drums are getting faster and faster until the song collapses. Also outstanding is “Eternal Kingdom” (check the drumfill that comes back at certain times) and the last track "Following Betulas" that includes a trumpet at the end. These three songs are just examples of how Cult of Luna manages again to keep their repetitive music original with small details wether it’s electronical stuff, organic instruments, dissonant riffs or subtle drumbreaks. It makes ‘Eternal Kingdom’ just a new interesting chapter to the catalogue of the band.
