Wolves in the Throne Room

During the Summer of 2002 at an Earth First rendezvous in the Cascade mountains of Washington Sate, guitarist Nathan Weaver was inspired to create a band that merged a Cascadian eco-spiritual awareness with the misanthropic Norwegian eruptions of the 90's.  Themes of ancientness, apocalypse, connection to place and the struggle to find meaning and spirituality in a mechanical and materialistic world would be woven together in a singular alchemy.

In the spring of 2004, Nathan and his brother, drummer Aaron Weaver, moved to a dilapidated farmstead on the outskirts of Olympia, WA. The creation of their farm-stronghold, called Calliope, would be intrinsically linked to the development of Wolves in the Throne Room. It was during the first long, dark winter living in the collapsed farmhouse at Calliope that the band developed their trance-inducing sound and solidified the burning intent that would animate the band's music.

Since that time Wolves in the Throne Room have become one of the most important and highly regarded bands in extreme music.  Their three studio records, Diadem of 12 Stars, Two Hunters and Black Cascade have been widely praised by everyone from underground zine writers to the New York Times.

Wolvserpent
Wolvserpent, a project created by collaborators Blake Green and Brittany McConnell, manifested in 2009 in Boise, Idaho.   Wolvserpent’s focus is on creative expressions of spirituality, nature, and the occult. The duo’s music creates beautifully bleak visuals of the worlds we live in and the worlds we do not. Some of which are vibrant and full. Some that have long turned to dust and been drained of life. Both of which share equal beauty and terror. Within this music exists a forgotten but healing sanctuary. The opportunity to disappear from the fears and stresses of modern living and focus your strengths within, finding honesty, integrity, imagination, joy and the deepest of sorrows.    This musical expression moves us away from the instant gratification of the disposable music experience and takes us back to the realm of limitless time and possibilities of imagination. Moving away from the song and back to the album, an attempt to rejoin the ranks of theatre, film and visual art as an artistic genre that can provide a deeply spiritual and a broad ranged emotionally connecting experience.
