Cult of Luna’s New Video is So Creepy

Cult of Luna’s new album Vertikal is out now. You can and should stream it right now at Invisible Oranges not just because our own Dave Mustein loved it, but because it’s one of the best albums to be released so far this year. For serious.

“Passing Through” is the album’s final track and it’s easily the most mellow and least representative of the album as a whole but it’s no less awesome than any of the rest. The video was directly by Markus Lundqvist in sub-zero temperatures at the abandoned Säter hospital, once Sweden’s largest mental hospital shuttered since the 1960s. Supposedly the mentally ill were routinely castrated and lobotomized there. Think about that as you watch this innocent little girl wander the hospital’s halls, The Shining-style.
