History Music / CultOfLuna

* DreamTeam: Their collaboration with renowned post-metal vocalist Julie Christmas.

* SopranoAndGravel: Their usual vocal style is a hardcore roar, but some songs ("Crossing Over", "Marching to the Heartbeats", "And With Her Came the Birds", etc.) feature clean singing. Taken UpToEleven on their collaboration with Julie Christmas, on which both the [=CoL=] vocalists and Christmas use both screams and clean singing.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent:
** In an album with 7 other crushing metal tracks with intense negative emotions, "Crossing Over" emphasizes atmospheric keyboards and even ends with a major key melody reminiscent of Music/SigurRos.
** "Passing Through" is an atmospheric piece containing entirely clean guitars and singing, and ends ''Vertikal'' on a sombre note.
** The music on ''Eviga riket'' is quite subdued with little obvious metal influence and generally instrumental. (It was also later released separately on vinyl as ''Eternal Music'').

* EpicRocking: Rare when it doesn't happen. Their longest track is "Vicarious Redemption" (18:45).

By contrast, only sixteen tracks [[note]]"Dark Side of the Sun" (3:13), "101" (1:43), "Inside Fort Meade" (0:45), "Clones" (2:20), "White Cell" (5:40), "Marching to the Heartbeats" (3:14), "And With Her Came the Birds" (5:59), "The Lure" (2:34), "Mire Deep" (5:11), "Österbotten" (2:19), "Ugín" (2:44), "The One" (2:06), "The Sweep" (2:41), "Disharmonia" (0:45), "Passing Through" (5:42), "Inside of a Dream (3:20)[[/note]] are ''under'' six minutes, and most of these are intended as interludes (and that's being extremely pedantic and including the 5:59 "And With Her Came the Birds").

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Most songs get to a maximum around 9. Some songs, particularly on the self-titled album and ''The Beyond'', are a 10. Songs can have a wide range, such as "Dim", which starts at a 1 and ends up at a 9 in a massive climax. "Passing Through" and "And With Her Came the Birds" are a 1, while "Crossing Over" is probably a 4 or so.

* WanderlustSong: Multiple on ''Somwhere Along the Highway''.
