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!
