Final Light, a one-time only project featuring Perturbator and Cult of Luna's Johannes Persson, deliver their self-titled album on Metal Blade. The project is the result of both a recently discovered kinship and the opportunity for Perturbator, at the request of Roadburn's Walter Hoeijmakers, to do a commissioned piece with a musician of his choice for the festival's 2020 iteration, which of course did not happen. James Kent recalls, "I immediately thought of Cult of Luna. Even though my music is mostly electronic and synth-based, we both have a knack for creating atmospheres, so I thought it would be a very interesting match." As soon as the pair began work on their boundary-decimating songs, they knew that they had to be immortalized as an album. "It was immediate," adds Kent. "We had almost an hour of interesting music, so it would've been a shame to simply perform it and not do anything with it afterwards. It's a project that I really want to share; it's not only the fruit of a collaboration between me and one of my favourite musicians, but also very unique and once-in-a-lifetime."
