Wolves In The Throne Room
re-imagined black metal as an ode to rain storms, wood smoke and the wild
energies of
the Pacific Northwest. Their first studio album, Diadem Of 12 Stars (2006), was
a genre-dissolving classic that created
a melancholy and psychedelic Cascadian atmosphere.
Since that time they have become one of the most potent and highly regarded
bands in extreme music. The listener
encounters crystalline metal riffs that slowly collapse and shift into
ritualistic laments, singing of endless rain
falling upon ancient cedars. Their music is a doorway into a mythic ethereal
heathen landscape entered through
music, magic and dreams.
Now, a portal into the dreamworld of the band opens again with Thrice Woven. It
is a glorious return to the blazing
and furious black metal that they alone can create!
