Olympia WA, United States (2004 – present)
During the Summer of 2002 at an Earth First rendezvous in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, guitarist Nathan Weaver was inspired to create a band that merged a Cascadian eco-spiritual awareness with the misanthropic Norwegian eruptions of the 90’s. The band envisioned would strive to create a mythic space where artist and listener alike could strip away the mindset of the mundane to reveal a more ancient and transcendent consciousness. The mysterious and wild energies of the untrammeled forests of the Northwest would be channeled into sonic form.
In the Spring of 2004, Nathan and his brother, drummer Aaron Weaver, moved to a dilapidated farmstead on the outskirts of Olympia, WA. The creation of their farm-stronghold, called Calliope, would be intrinsically linked to the development of Wolves in the Throne Room. It was during the first long, dark winter living in the collapsed farmhouse at Calliope that the band developed their trance-inducing sound and solidified the burning intent that would animate the band’s music. Elements of black metal, crust punk, folk music, thrash metal and drone music were drawn upon to create a unique alchemy.
Since that time Wolves in the Throne Room have ascended to the upper tiers of the underground scene by creating a transformative and apocalyptic musical manifestation that has come to completely transcend the black metal label.
Wolves in the Throne Room’s first studio album, the lush and atmospheric Diadem of 12 Stars (A Shimmering Radiance), was released in the Spring of 2006. This gloriously sprawling record was captured on tape by Tim Green at Louder Studios in San Francisco.

I actually gave these guys another chance. They couldn't write an interesting, original riff if one of their little forests depended on it.

In a weaker year Black Cascade would easily have made my top ten albums of the year. It's not a bad album by any stretch, it just doesn't quite match the standards of the first two full-lengths.

sure why not. Though I still like them even if Black Cascade isn't up to the quality of the two previous full-lengths.

Shall we move this trolldom into somewhere else than the shoutbox of this once-so-great-though-now-not-so band? Then I'd be plerased to continue our entertaining, intellectual, fierce and completely-musically-irrelevant discussion :P

I suppose anarcho-syndicalism doesn't qualify as a free economy in your view? Have you even fucking read about it? Also, Political Compass still places Hitler on the right side of the economic axis, so claiming that all fascism is "left-wing" is extremely misleading. See http://politicalcompass.org/faq#faq17
