Trivia / Cult of Luna

• Approval of God: As mentioned below, Johannes Persson, who generally dislikes remixes, praised Justin K. Broadrick's remix of "Vicarious Redemption".
• Artist Disillusionment: Arguably why Klas Rydberg left.
• Breakthrough Hit: Their album Salvation brought the band into major post-metal recognition.
• Executive Meddling: The label pressured the band to include a remixed song on Vertikal II. Johannes Persson thought remixes were a "waste of time" but picked the hardest song on Vertikal to remix, "Vicarious Redemption", a sprawling sludge metal epic. Justin Broadrick was the only person he could trust to do a good remix, and Persson later praised Broadrick's remix.
• Similarly Named Works: "Dark Side of the Sun" shares its name with an early novel by Terry Pratchett. It's not entirely clear if it's named after the novel or intended as a pun on The Dark Side of the Moon. Or both.
