Cult of Luna Film New Video

By jason

Swedish art-noise collective Cult of Luna have filmed a video for the "Back to Chapel Town", a track that features on their latest album out on Earache records "Somewhere Along the Highway".
Filmed in Umea near where the band are from, the video took 5 days to make but much longer to plan...
Johannes Persson and Erik Olofsson came up with the concept and directed the video themselves.
"Its about a dude" says Johannes trying to explain "a man waking up in a
world he doesn‚t know, he knows nothing of his past or where he is, people
treat him like air or are very suspicious of him"
When asked how he felt about filming his own video Johannes says "It took
fucking ages to arrange, we shot for 5 days and Ive never felt so out of my element, but it was fun, and definitely something I would like to do more in the future"
The ! video mimicks the dark graphic feel of the album, and was even shot in
the same kind of colour as the artwork on „Somewhere along the highway‰
The video is due to be finished by the end of September check
