Olympia, WA black metal outfit Wolves In The Throne Room have announced their new studio album, ‘Estuary,’ which is slated for an October 23rd release via Relapse Records. The conceptual record will transport listeners 1,000 years into a post-apocalyptic future, where civilization has fallen and supernatural forces have begun reshaping the remnants of the world.
Frontman/guitarist Nathan Weaver offered the following description of the album’s setting:
“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.”
“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.”
The first taste of that impending effort has now arrived in the form of “Ghosts Among The Obelisks.” Weaver directed the newly released music video for the track, while Wolves In The Throne Room also opted to self-produce the album.
Touring bassist Galen Baudhuin handled the bass duties during the recording sessions.
‘Estuary’ will feature the following six tracks:
01 – “Estuary”
02 – “Knights Of Tiamat”
03 – “Foretold In Reflections”
04 – “The Orca Cliffs”
05 – “Ghosts Among The Obelisks”
06 – “Wretched Spirits, Land Of Light”
