Cult Of Luna are a Swedish progressive metal band. Hailing from Umeå in Sweden, they formed from the ashes of a Umeå hardcore band called Eclipse.

Their style is usually best described as 'doom metal'. Their songs are often long, slow, repetitive and crushing, heavy sections of distorted guitars often interspersed with orchestral interludes or extended, post-rock-esque forays. They shun conventional song structures, opting for a sound that evolves throughout a song, sometimes toward a climactic crescendo, instead of a verse-chorus-verse pattern. That style, incorporating sections of 'light and dark' into their music, has led to comparisons with contemporaries such as Isis, Callisto and Pelican.
