WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM "BLACK CASCADE" AVAILABLE NOW!

WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM "BLACK CASCADE" CD *on sale*$11.99
The third album (and second released on Southern Lord) from the grimm Cascadia black metal horde: Wolves In The Throne Room. Black Cascade further solidifies their death like grip on the jewel throne of American Black Metal. 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. "Black Cascade" blazes down a slightly different path than the recently released "Malevolent Grain" EP. This album bleeds with a much more primal, raw and aggressive aesthetic than anything the band has done before.

HOWL TO RETURN TO GREENVILLE!


So yeah, sorry about my absence. First it was the Coalition of Independent Music Stores conference in Nashville followed by the Scion Rock Fest in Atlanta. By the way, Skeletonwitch, Toxic Holocaust, Trash Talk, Neurosis, Krallice, Wolves in the Throne Room, U.S. Christmas, A Storm of Light and Coalesce killed it!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Providence, Rhode Island's HOWL return to Greenville on their way to play SXSW! If you missed them the first two times they came through, shame on you, you had better make it up to them! HOWL's brand of heavy metal fits tightly in the stinking armpit of early Mastodon, Baroness, Tragedy, His Hero is Gone and Entombed.
Earshot presents a special "after hours" show for all you local metalheads!
