Wolves In The Throne Room- Astral Blood [HD]

Celestial Lineage 2011

Lyrics: Pyramid with 1000 steps
Bricks of obsidian glimmering
Carved with ruins
Occult fire burning within

Lens of quartz reflect the nightsky
1000 Anchorites in their solitude
Witness new constellations coalesce

Owls perched upon columns of dark energy
The smoke of our offerings draws the night spirits

The moon leads celestial legions
To cast the stars from their ancient thrones
Astral blood pours forth
From their grievous wounds

They should get back into making a new album they're amazing!

[FilthyIcon]

I agree with you, though I wouldn't expect their new work to sound like their old work- they've spoken about making changes to the music direction in order to avoid stagnation.

[righttokill13]

Hehe sounds kind of like what Ulver did but although there was a huge change in music their newer material is still pretty good. So Wolves in the Throne Room happen to change their sound I still have hope. (:

[FilthyIcon]

me too, I love Wolves in the Throne Room- whatever direction they choose, I'm sure will be the right one

[Hugh Laurie]

Do you think they'll introduce any post-metal elements into their music like Deafheaven have?

[FilthyIcon]

I don't really believe so. They seemed like they might've even wanted to stop doing metal altogether. Aaron stated: "It's the end of Wolves in the Throne Room as we've done it for the past 8 years, and it's the beginning of a whole new era". They cited touring as taking away too much from their farm and nature lifestyle. My guess is that they'll do something like Ambient.

PS , this is all just my guess of course. They may still do metal in the future.

Agalloch would like to have a word with you.

I can't describe this music... It is so mysterious and philosophical. This incredible atmosphere... I could put myself in the woods and just enjoy the music. This music really helps you to see the forest as a sanctuary.

Greetings from the German Forests.

I'm filling out a job application right now. I bet no one has ever listened to Wolves while filling out a job application...

[dakotamanomgwtf]

Maybe they'd lean towards a folk-esque sound similar to some of the folk influences Ulver had in their first album? I would love that, but I don't see it happening.

5:41 is my favorite part
