In a rather strange turn of events my sister, an indie rock lover, contacted me with a band she had heard and thought I might enjoy. She had heard them on (I believe it was) Radio 6 one evening and despite her metal-misgivings thought it sounded good.
Cult of Luna are a post-metal band, Swedish in origin. They have aggressive, deep, guttural vocals on all their tracks. While guttural vocals are not usually my cup of tea, the music compliments them quite well. The instruments used are primarily standard metal style and sound, fairly heavy and giving the feeling of foreboding that a lot of post-metal music inspires. However later tracks are more orchestral in origin using atmospheric sounds to put a deeper feel in to the track, making it a lot less oppressive but still giving a heavy impact.
You can hear several tracks on their myspace page here: http://www.myspace.com/cultofluna
or you can also YouTube them and find a whole lot more of their tracks with some sort of anime or photo slideshow going on in the background.
