From Aquarius Records:
Finally available on vinyl! Super deluxe, double lp, extra thick vinyl, incredibly thick gatefold jacket, amazing layout, just the sort of epic treatment this sort of epic blackness deserves.
Here's our review of the cd from a while back:
We'd been selling Wolves In The Throne Room cd-r demos like crazy since we first discovered these guys a few years back (2004). And how could we not? You gotta love a band that unfurls massive fuzzed out epics, 10+ minute bursts of swirling droning black metal, dirging, lurching and gorgeously blown out. The obvious comparison is SF black metal legends Weakling, and you know we wouldn't make that comparison lightly. The same sort of fierce brutality and chaotic ferocity mixed with impossibly anguished emotionalism all wrapped up in a blackness that is informed as much by suffocating dark ambience and mesmerizing drones as it is grim black metal.
If you thought the WITTR demos sounded great, HOLY SHIT does their first proper release and debut full length, blow those out of the water. Which is a good thing as two of the songs here are actually from the demos, but they have been massively reworked and completely re-recorded. It's got a huge wall of guitar sound, surprisingly heavy for a black metal band, in place of more typical reedy buzzy BM mosquito guitar. There's thick snarling monster riffs, dense and multilayered, spread thick over furious pounding drumming and howled strangulated vocals (very Weakling-esque). Now you might think the world needs another Nordic style black metal band like a hole in the head, no matter how amazing they are. BUT, Wolves In The Throne Room do it SO WELL, and write amazing songs, and manage to mix it up like crazy, incorporating all sorts of un-BM elements, gorgeous folky ambience, weirdly TRUE metal riffing, even some ethereal angelic female vocals (courtesy of Jamie Myers, ex-Hammers Of Misfortune). It all somehow fits, and makes the Wolves' black metal black enough to remain true, but fucked up enough to matter. Plus they probably do think the world needs a hole in the head...
You'd never guess from listening to this record that the WITTR are a bunch of short haired, furry vested, tight panted, scruffy indie dudes from Olympia. But don't let that put you off, impossibly true metal nerds, just close your eyes, listen close, and all you'll see are grim, 10 foot tall, spike encrusted leather clad warriors of the misty, ancient northwestern forests...
Most of these records were bought new and have been played a few times and then shelved. Some of them were bought used and have surface scuffing. These records have been checked to make sure they play through fine. All records will be cleaned before shipping. I use a Technics 1200MK3 with new Shure cartridge and all of these albums play through fine.
All records shipped in a new LP mailer. Please pay within 3 days of winning the auction. No reserve ever! I will combine shipping for any of these and will only charge $1.00 per EXTRA album up to 5 albums for US buyers. It will be an additional 2.00 per extra LP up to 5 for Canadian buyers.
Shipping actually costs $4.00 USD if you want it shipped media mail with tracking

Shipping actually costs $8.50 USD if you want it shipped Priority Mail with no tracking.
Records are always shipped in brand new mailers with bubble wrap and cardboard holders if necessary. Albums are shipped outside of their sleeves to prevent jacket splitting and tearing.
I am forced to sell almost everything I have collected for the past decade in the next two months. Check back for my other auctions as I will be listing over 175 more black metal, stoner, experimental, freak folk, noise, drone vinyl albums in the next 7 days.
Thank you for looking and Good Luck. Please send me a message with any questions you have. Most of these records were bought new by me and then archived on my record shelves. Some were bought used and have wear, but will be noted as such! Non-cigarette smoking home. Rad. Thanx!
