Olympia, Washington-based black metal band Wolves In The Throne Room have had an October 23rd release date set for their new studio album, “Estuary“. Relapse Records will be overseeing the release of that conceptual opus, which frontman/guitarist Nathan Weaver had the following to say of:
“Our new LP ‘Estuary‘ is set 1000 years in the future after the end of civilization. Survivors of a cataclysm wander the haunted ruins. It is a world of mutant creatures and open portals. Post-apocalyptic religion takes form in a wild landscape.”
“If wilderness overcame the cities in the future, the estuaries would be realms of power and magic. Within the album’s world-building, the estuaries are key nexus points where magic has taken on physical form. Spirits good and evil walk the earth.”
“Ghosts Among The Obelisks” arrives as the lead single from this effort and sports a music video directed by Weaver himself. The group also took matters into their own hands when it came to the recording process, handling the production themselves. Touring bassist Galen Baudhuin laid down the low end.
