Wolves in the Throne Room have returned with new music from their forthcoming album Estuary, due out on October 23 via Relapse Records. The atmospheric black metal outfit promises an even more ferocious and experimental sound with their newest release.
Vocalist and guitarist Nathan Weaver had this to say: “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.”
Estuary is the band's first new release since 2021’s Primordial Arcana. The latest album is a study of contrasts, with Weaver noting, “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.”
Estuary track list:
Knights of Tiamat
Foretold in Reflections
The Orca Cliffs
Wretched Spirits, Land of Light
The new album was self-produced by the band at their Owl Lodge studio in Olympia, Washington, with drums being tracked by Nicholas Wilbur in a converted church, now home to recording studio The Unknown. Touring bassist Galen Baudhuin (Aridus, Street Tombs) will also be featured on the album. Fans can preorder digital and physical copies from the bands webstore.
