Wolves In The Throne Room - Estuary

Kings of USBM Wolves in the Throne Room have returned with sharpened teeth. Their new album Estuary carries the hallmark of their unyielding dedication to the physical craft and analog production techniques.

Estuary is their most ferocious and genre-bending record to date. Nathan Weaver (lead vocals, guitars) comments: “Our new album Estuary takes place 1,000 years in the future, after the death of civilization. I've always felt such calm at the idea of humanity vanishing from the world, and nature reclaiming everything. This has been a recurring theme in all of Wolves’ music but for Estuary, it is at the forefront.”

Resonant with that hardwiring; Estuary is rawer, more volatile Estuary was produced by Wolves in the Throne Room, with touring bassist Galen Baudhuin (Aridus, Street Tombs) dropping the low-end into a devastating sub-terrain. The bulk of the album was recorded at the band’s own Owl Lodge studio in Olympia, Washington, with drums tracked by Nicholas Wilbur at The Unknown (a converted former church in Anacortes, Washington).
