Crypt Of Ancestral Knowledge

by Wolves In The Throne Room

supported by

sachavonkarl74 U.S. "cascadian" black metal outfit "Wolves" needs no intro anymore. This one is their latest EP, building on their previous work, with long and well-crafted build-up and crescendo moments, which I find interesting and immersive, though on the slow side. Similar bands often cited are Agalloch and Panopticon. Favorite track: Initiates Of The White Hart.

about

“Our music invokes the Spirits that reside in the mountains and rivers--the Sun and Moon, the plants and animals. These deities have been with us since ancient times, but their voices have been drowned out in the modern world.”

That’s Aaron Weaver talking about the driving force behind Wolves In The Throne Room, the band he founded with his brother Nathan in 2002. It’s a force that’s been with them since their formative years—long before their stunning debut, Diadem Of 12 Stars, established them as black metal’s new atmospheric vanguard in 2006. Since then, they’ve carved their own path through the wilderness to hearts and minds around the globe with such highly regarded works as Two Hunters (2007), Celestial Lineage (2011), Thrice Woven (2017) and Primordial Arcana (2021).

And now, nearly two decades into their journey as shamanic conjurors, Wolves In The Throne Room have emerged from the forest with four new songs on their latest EP, "Crypt Of Ancestral Knowledge", something to tide the fans over until their next full-length is unleashed.
