Wolves in the Throne Room - Celestial Lineage

[Carl Wood]

Just ordered my first WITTR album.  I haven't yet heard the record, Celestial Lineage in its entirety, but what little I have heard so far sounds pretty epic (in the true sense of the word epic, not the fucking nonsense video-game/internet application of the term.)  I think this one could be a real gem.

Anyone else heard the album yet?

Yeah, it's pretty decent-- and got me back to spinning these guys again.  Lots of folks complain about the ideology of this band, or that they are 'fake' or whatever, but their stuff is all worth checking out.

By many people's standards, any black metal outside of northern Europe is fake.  I say fuck that.  The black/dark metal (or whatever) scene in the USA, for instance, over the last number of years has really become something impressive.

Spun the last couple from this album again last night and all of "Black Cascade" this morning.  This newer album is really growing on me...

It should be here this week.  I'm especially excited considering I paid much less than what it's currently selling for on eBay    I found an online distro that still had the version I was looking for in stock.  I will, of course, be posting some cool pics!

It came in the mail today.  Awesome package    The gold-on-black vinyl looks excellent!
