All hail the infernal throne — Wolves deliver brutal black metal.

  • We Say...

    Though they’ve often been categorized as “American black metal,” the Olympia, Washington-based Wolves in the Throne Room use that genre in the same way that, say, the Mars Volta use prog-rock — as a launching pad to a more personal musical vision. 2007’s Two Hunters finds the trio adding acoustic folk and Sunn O)))-style ambient influences to their metallic mixture, topping them with the pure and haunting vocal tones of one Jessica Kinney on “Cleansing” and “I Will Lay Down My Bones Among the Rocks and Roots” — the latter of which points to the band’s reported interest in “eco-spiritual” themes. On “Vastness and Sorrow,” their relentless riffage and ice-cold despair equal anything recorded by their Norwegian brethren.
