Cult of Luna Recruit Gojira's Joe Duplantier For 'Sadness Will Reign'
(Chromatic) Cult of Luna today shared their dark and blistering new single "Sadness Will Reign," which features guest vocalist Joe Duplantier, the frontman of Grammy-winning extreme metal titans Gojira.
The final single previewing their anticipated new album In The Shadow Of Your Shadow (out this Friday, Nov. 6th, via RED CRK Recordings), "Sadness Will Reign" is a blunt, misanthropic statement, with Duplantier declaring "All of you are born from filth!" to hammer home the track's fury.
"What I like about Joe is that he has a very particular voice. I think it's one of the reasons why Gojira stands out as the metal giants that they are. It has its own unique character and would stand out even if you put him next to a hundred or a thousand other vocalists," says Cult of Luna's Johannes Persson.
"Sadness Will Reign" follows album singles "The Rift," "A Way Back" and the visceral title track and lead single, which earned support from Metal Injection, Brooklyn Vegan, Kerrang!, New Noise Magazine, The PRP, Lambgoat, The Line of Best Fit, and many more. Cult of Luna play Damnation Festival this Saturday and are set to embark on a headlining European tour in early 2027; a full itinerary is below and more live dates will soon be announced.
