On Feb. 5, 2021, Cult of Luna return with a new EP called The Raging River.
The new collection is to release on Red Creek, the band's own label, and features a guest appearance by Mark Lanegan on the song "Inside of a Dream."
The Raging River will be Red Creek's initial release, with Metal Blade handling North American distribution while Season of Mist distributes in Europe.
In a prepared statement, the band issued the following statement:
After more than 20 years of touring, releasing albums and experiencing different kinds of deals and aspects of the music industry, we believed that it was the right time for us to seek more freedom and to reduce the distance between us and our audience.
So, in 2020, Red Creek was born. It has been created as a safe home for our art, but we wanted to do more and offer our experience, expertise and network to the artists we love and believe in.
Therefore, we gathered talents and partners around us to create a crafted solution to our needs that is adaptable also to the needs of other artists.
Red Creek will be our home; if you've been with us for 20 years or 2 days, this will be your home too.

1. Three Bridges
