Interview: Wolves In The Throne Room - “We’re completely uninterested in the idea of entertainment”

Apr 2, 2009, 7:35am Thrash Hits

Eco-spiritualist black metallers, Wolves In The Throne Room , released an EP last year about a bucket of oats and barley plotting to take over the world. That was reason enough for Tom Gibbons to interrogate Aaron Weaver, drummer with the Washington State-based band, after their recent London show . How was London this time around? “I was really pleased with that show. The last time we played London it was a bit more stressful for us [...]

New Releases: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Impending Doom, Gomez

Mar 31, 2009, 10:00am BUZZGRINDER

I don't get how all the good stuff gets clumped together and then we get stuck with weeks like this, where there are a few mentionables (Gomez, Great Lake Swimmers, Peter Bjorn and John) and everything else is either mediocre or we've already talked about it ( Malajube , Impending Doom ). And a few WTFs for good measure (Nightwish, Queensryche). All that's left is the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album, which already released digitally a few weeks ago and is really good. Get on that. :: Adam Franklin , Spent Bullets [...]

SXSW METAL REPORT: DAY 3 (OR: “NOT METALLICA”)

Mar 21, 2009, 1:21pm MetalSucks

The big buzz on the street yesterday was that Metallica would be playing at the 2,100 capacity Stubb's; was it worth getting there early to ensure a spot inside? The 8 semis parked outside the venue loomed large. Would us plebes even be able to get in?  Some friends from the Relapse goon squad opted [...]

Here's what happened in the world of metal this week: We all finally got to hear the new Mastodon album! Needless to say, intense debate ensued. We spoke to Wolves in the Throne Room [...]

WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM DRUMMER AARON WEAVER ON BLACK METAL AS PROTEST MUSIC, WHY SCION IS SATANIC, AND THE GIANT WOLF CHASING THE SUN

Mar 19, 2009, 1:00pm MetalSucks

Eight hours straight of phone interviews is nobody’s idea of a good time, especially when the guy doing it usually spends his non-band time working the land on a self-owned farm outside of Olympia, Washington. So Aaron Weaver, the drummer for black metal band Wolves In the Throne Room, must be commended for his affable [...]

Sunday Metal Minute: Krallice, “Wretched Wisdom”

I already clued you all in on the fact that we're having some brilliant black metal tours coming to the Twin Cities this summer, but now things are just getting ridiculous. This week, the announcement was made that the visionary BM minds of Wolves in the Throne Room and Krallice would join together in what [...]

Bartender Blogs: SXSW 2009 - The Prologue

Mar 14, 2009, 5:03pm The Donnybrook Writing Academy

Thus, the great musical migration begins. The time of year when the preening musicians shed their downy winter coats and the musical industrialists begin their violent rutting, and both travel to the balmy shores of Austinland to begin a vigorous coupling ritual that has existed since the mid-nineties. The music journalists too-a symbiotic species, not to mention hermaphroditic and incestuous-begin their annual masturbatory phalanx for the musicians. Truly the 8th wonder of the natural kingdom, and I, dear reader, the respected and feared Bartender, intend to observe with watchful eye this unique spectacle. That’s right folks, I’ll be [...]

Interview: Wolves in the Throne Room

Mar 13, 2009, 6:00am INVISIBLE ORANGES - THE METAL MP3 BLOG

Aaron Weaver doesn't want to redefine black metal, nor does he want to preach about sustainable living. But there's one thing of which the Wolves in the Throne Room drummer is certain: the modern world is losing touch with ancestral spirits. When Weaver isn't touring or creating materials for another release, he's working on his communal farmstead "Calliope" outside Olympia, WA. In a phone interview, Weaver discussed touring Europe, hating corporate culture, appraising ancestral spirits, and glorifying mystical musical journeys. Interview by Jess Blumensheid Photos by Afton Larsen [...]

Ancora sui Lupi

Mar 9, 2009, 6:31pm Romilar

...che poi il gran mistero è perchè 'Black Cascade' abbia sul mio cervello un effetto psichedelico mentre 'Two Hunters' ti mette addosso il classico cagarone black metal 'tu solo nei boschi inseguito dai lupi'.  La pasta è sempre quella, i blastbeat sono quelli, la voce è quella, sarà l'impasto che è diverso. Quattro pezzi dal minutaggio medio di dieci minuti, un sound più omogeneo, niente cazzo di reverbero alla voce che fa molto 'vintage black metal norvegese' ma che ha sfracassato i coglioni, sparata in cuffia quel rantolo disperato mi sfrigola letteralmente dentro le orecchie,  secondo me una [...]

WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM MAKE YOU WEATHER THE STORM ON BLACK CASCADE

Mar 4, 2009, 10:29am MetalSucks

The new millennium has signaled the transformation of American black metal. What was originally a subterranean scene mostly represented by obscure tape demos from Burzum-worshipping one-man bands (or the split releases they did with other sequestered basement dwellers) has now surfaced. With Nachtmystium’s major label hype machine in full swing last year USBM can finally [...]

That I'm sitting here in the MetalSucks Mansion this snowy Monday morning has gotta be some kinda heavy metal miracle; as I type this, Anton OyVey, Rob Pasbani from Metal Injection, our friends from BITPOM.com, and a lot of other fine friends are still stranded in Atlanta due to the weather. And honestly, there are worse [...]

Satan’s Inn: Schwärzer denn je

Feb 25, 2009, 5:08pm »78s

Black Metal. Die dunkelste, kaputteste, zerstörerischste aller Metal-Spielarten. Hier endet der Spass, hier beginnt es weh zu tun. In der Black Metal Szene tummeln sich die fürchterlichsten Gestalten die man - nebst Dieter Bohlen - in der Musikszene finden kann.  Stichworte dazu sind etwa:  Burzum ,  NSBM , brennende Kirchen. So weit, so schlecht... Aber: Es gibt auch Black Metal, der sich jenseits von pubertärem Teufelszeug bewegt und einfach nur gnadenlos gut und ungemein faszinierend ist. Musik deren Wirkung sich am ehesten mit "Blair Witch Project" vergleichen lässt, die [...]

I imagine Wolves In The Throne Room is alot better live than on record and the same goes [...]

Come lupi su agnelli

Ok, i Colour Haze ce li siamo asciugati, il 20 febbraio suoneranno all CSOA ex Mattatoio di Perugia e il 21 al Sabotage di Vicenza, buon per loro almeno girano un pò l'Italia. Passiamo avanti, l'11 siamo puntati per i Wolves in the throne room e vediamo se bestemmiando ancora più forte riuscirò ad andarmeli a vedere. Se fossero venuti qualche mese fa ci potevo anche rinunciare, allo scorso Roadburn ( a proposito, set qui ) li ho saltati preferendo chissà cos'altro, Two Hunters lo conoscevo e non mi aveva detto un granchè, ok [...]
