Primordial Arcana

Jordan Vauvert Primordial Arcana, le retour aux énergies primordiales de l'aveu même du groupe, avec une pochette d'Amjad Faur qui se place dans la pure tradition de la nature morte.
Wolves in the Throne Room accomplit un véritable exploit sur cet album, évitant le cliché assez casse-gueule du "retour aux sources". Au contraire, le groupe confirme la nouvelle trajectoire lancée depuis Thrice Woven, avec ce black atmosphérique teinté d'un aspect folklorique chaleureux (surtout sur "Primal Chasm"). Du grand art. Favorite track: Underworld Aurora.

Saffron Robe Not a band I ever got into much beyond the track "I Will Lay Down My Bones Among the Rocks and Roots". However, this album is on a whole different level. Kody’s involvement in the writing process adds new vistas and an extra sparkle to the music. Every aspect of this album is precise and honed to perfection - a true work of art.

Alex Decknadel This album continues what WITTR has been known for, with cuts that harken back to previous albums but not retread them. It's definitely a great listen for any fan of the band. Favorite track: Underworld Aurora.

about

Two decades into their journey as ritualistic black metal conjurers, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM have emerged from the forest with Primordial Arcana, their most majestic album to date, and their first release via Relapse Records.

Primordial Arcana is the band’s first completely self-contained work: In addition to composition and performance, brothers Aaron and Nathan Weaver alongside guitarist Kody Keyworth handled all aspects of recording, producing and mixing at their own Owl Lodge Studios in the woods of Washington state.

The album’s title is a reference to the band’s ongoing reach back to the most ancient, archetypal energies.

Leadoff track “Mountain Magick” sets the august tone with alpine guitar melodies cresting skyward in triumph. “Spirit of Lightning” returns briefly to the earthly plane as a tribute to the human connections forged in music. Meanwhile, “Primal Chasm (Gift of Fire)” is an explosion of cosmic grandeur, a symphonic rendering of the hermetic maxim As above, so below as envisioned by Keyworth. In fact, Primordial Arcana is the first WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM record in which Kody was a part of the writing process from the start, so it benefits from his background in cosmic funeral doom.

Always uncompromising, Primordial Arcana sees WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM stay true to their unique vision. An album born out of the DIY ethos, Primordial Arcana proves to be the band’s most genuine and focused. One of the year’s most ambitious recordings, Primordial Arcana cements WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM’s legacy as one of US Black Metal’s most daring, unique, and quintessential bands.
