Wolves In The Throne Room
Black Cascade
It has been five years since Wolves In The Throneroom emerged from the rain-soaked Cascadian underground with a singular musical alchemy. The band's previous two studio albums, 'Diadem Of Twelve Stars' and 'Two Hunters,' in tandem with their incendiary live performances, have unquestionably established the band as a swiftly rising force in the extreme music world. Their new meditation, cryptically titled 'Black Cascade,' wholly transcends the limitations of the black metal label to be reborn as an entity entirely unto themselves. The energy conjured by the music is a distinctive manifestation of a personal vision that is not beholden to the rules of any genre. This record is an analog monolith that does credit to an intricately layered and ever-shifting psychedelic soundscape churning beneath the unrelenting blast beats and tremolo guitar.
