USBM veterans Wolves In The Throne Room depict a futuristic world where humanity vanishes and nature reclaim everything through the cryptic soundscapes of the highly anticipated new opus “Estuary”.
We get lost instantly though the nocturnal landscapes of the title track as mythological themes emerge through the dense atmospheric noise and vitriolic guitars effortlessly build a menacing wall of sound well supported by unrestrained drumming and cavernous growls.
The decadent composition of “Knights Of Tiamat” adds exquisite gothic nuances to the ravenous blackened rhythmic core therefore a veiled atmospheric obscurity constantly surrounds the feverish guitar movements and a lugubrious melodic essence creates an inspiring contemplative momentum.
The ritualistic intro of “Foretold In Reflections” leads straight to an ancestral dimension where the sinister power of guitars generates slower dramatic progressions enriched by the mystifying vibes of the multilayered mysterious orchestrations.
“Ghosts Among the Obelisks” represents an intense mystical journey as incandescent guitar riffs and relentless drums guide you through a perilous rhythmic maze maintaining an ominous extreme metal approach but enhancing the epic spirit with sumptuous atmospheric tapestries.
Choosing wisely raw primordial energy and analog production techniques, Wolves In The Throne Room are free to explore the darkest depths of metal and the inevitable downfall of mankind in the realm of power and magic perfectly embodied by “Estuary”.
