Wolves In The Throne Room Unveil New Album Estuary

Wolves In The Throne Room have announced their new album Estuary, set to be released on October 23rd via Relapse Records. The album is a concept album set 1000 years in the future after the end of civilization, with a world of mutant creatures and open portals.

The lead single from the album is titled 'Ghosts Among The Obelisks', and its music video was directed by Nathan Weaver. The track is an intensely melancholic black metal song, with a focus on evocation over obvious hooks.

The album Estuary has 6 tracks, including 'Estuary', 'Knights of Tiamat', 'Foretold in Reflections', 'The Orca Cliffs', 'Ghosts Among the Obelisks', and 'Wretched Spirits, Land of Light'. Wolves In The Throne Room produced Estuary themselves, mostly at their own Owl Lodge studio in Olympia, Washington, with touring bassist Galen Baudhuin playing on the LP.

## What it's about The album's concept is set in a post-apocalyptic world where survivors of a cataclysm wander the haunted ruins. According to frontman Nathan Weaver, the estuaries in this world are key nexus points where magic has taken on physical form, and spirits good and evil walk the earth.

## Why it matters The release of Estuary marks a new chapter in the band's discography, and its unique concept and sound are likely to appeal to fans of black metal and experimental music. With its intense and melancholic soundscapes, Estuary is set to be a standout album in the genre.

The album's release on October 23rd via Relapse Records is highly anticipated, and fans can pre-order it now. With its unique blend of black metal and post-apocalyptic themes, Estuary is set to be a must-listen for fans of heavy and experimental music.
