Wolves in the Throne Room - Discography



Of course, Wolves in the Throne Room. Nothin' new. But a classic, and now you can't tell me I haven't mentioned them etc.

Someone once called them the Rancid (you know, the pop-punk band) of the Cascadian BM scene.

It's true, but they definitely were one of the first of such bands I listened to, and I do think some of their stuff is pretty cool.




So I heard about this band years ago. Didn't get into them for a long time though. And they are really popular and famous. It's like, hipsters listen to Darkthrone when it comes to trve BM, and similarly Wolves in the Throne Room with Cascadian BM.

When it comes down to it though, they are a talented band, a pioneer, nice people (at least when I met them), and have some solid lyrical content. For those unaware of the (underground?) Cascadian BM scene, WTTR represent a different thread of BM that is very ecologically aware, and just generally not excessively politically questionable.

The band's ideology is quite different from many black metal bands. In interviews they've expressed respect for left-wing politics, radical environmentalism and ecofeminism.
- Quote Metal-Archives.com ("Wolves in the Throne Room")


I used to be a really big fan of their earlier stuff when I first got into them, even the song Black Tea, maybe it's because I used to listen to alot of punk/hardcore/crust/etc. Nowadays, I'm more a fan of their later stuff, especially Malevolent Grain. I find such music is much darker in sound, and not quite as overly ambient as the previous albums.

If you're all too familiar with Cascadian BM, you will already have all of this. If not, welcome to where most people start off.

Recommended classics.
