Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters

After Sunn0))), Earth and Boris it looks like The Wolves In The Throneroom (along with Weedeater..) will be the next band to join the Southern Lord big league.
The music of The Wolves In The Throne Room is rooted in the traditions of Black Metal, but they subvert the common aesthetic and ideology in order to remain true to their own personal manifestations.
The groups willingness to experiment with unconventional methods of recording and collaborate with avant-garde musicians sets them apart from the mundane normalcy that plagues many Black Metal bands albums as of late.
Haunting minor key melodies, relentlessly blasting double kick drumming and repetitive riffs that become hypnotic almost-drones. The Wolves add plenty of their own flavor with plenty of weird folk interludes, creepy swirling melodies, stretches of plodding doom, mathy rhythms and moaning ambience.
Jessica Kinney (previous collaborations with Eyvind Kang and Asva) provides beautifully dark vocals on "Cleansing" and "I Will Lay Down My Bones Among The Rocks And Roots."
Tracklisting: 01. Dia Artio. 02. Behold The Vastness And Sorrow. 03. Cleansing. 04. I Will Lay Down My Bones Among The Rocks And Roots.
