WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM

Arguably the most defining modern ambient black metal outfit on the planet, Wolves in the Throne Room emerged from the rain-soaked Cascadian underground with a singular musical alchemy just five years ago. The band's first two critically acclaimed studio albums, Diadem of Twelve Stars and Two Hunters, in tandem with their incendiary live performances, quickly and unquestionably established the band as the prominent rising force in the extreme music world.

 

Their new meditation, cryptically titled Black Cascade was released via Southern Lord in 2009. With this record Wolves in the Throne Room wholly transcend 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.

 

Black Cascade is characterized by a heavy and powerful analog sound and a deft touch with songwriting and arrangement. The crumbling roar of decidedly old-school tube amps unite with layers of mossy analog synthesizer and cataclysmic percussion. Blazing and crystalline Metal riffs slowly collapse and shift into ritualistic dirges that invoke endless rain falling upon the ancient cedars of the pacific North West. It is as if the instruments are controlled by shadowy and elemental forces of nature rather than three forest-dwellers from Olympia,WA…

ALEXANDER TUCKER

Signed to the ATP label, Alexander Tucker's darkly atmospheric music is a unique meshing of compositional song structures, old-fashioned fingerpicked acoustic folk, drones, stacked-up vocals and improvisations using cello, mandolin, acoustic guitar, and a bank of pedals.

One Inch Badge presents:

 

WOLF EYES

"An ungodly noise hybrid which sucks fragments of US hardcore, Industrial, free jazz, avant garde electronics and Death Metal into a sonic vortex. Cloaked in cartoonish horrorcore imagery, their music's obvious delight in its own intensity is as infectious as it is puerile". - The Wire

 

Having released well over 100 recordings since their formation in 1996, including two critically acclaimed albums for Sub Pop, Wolf Eyes are the world's most sought-after noise-experimentalists. Here in the UK to play JUST TWO LIVE SHOWS!
