WITTR are absolute joy to listen to when in the right mood. To me this applies especially with Primordial Arcana and Thrice Woven.

finally listened to the new EP. It's okay. atmosphere and composition is fine, it's just weird how it doesn't feel heavy at all.

Yeah, i miss the hard heavy natural brutality from like the first records. But i also enjoy the atmospheric side of them like in new Ep. Also the Ambient record was my first touch withe the ambient genre and had let me discover some wonderfull music. I hope i can see them live in May.

fantastic new release!! ♥There are 1.5 metal tracks here, the other 2.5 are not metal. Grim and frostbitten, atmosphere and beautiful melodies come in heaps; you have both ethno-ambient and spacey. Everything the way we like it. but... not enough!!! :')

How are only 1.5 tracks metal when there are two with blast beats and harsh vocals? :D

LadyElvina
well, obviously because the second track is metal only first half, and the other half more quiet/ambient :P

Pains me to say that I agree. It's a bit like with Darkthrone: they will never match their first few albums, although they're still an interesting band in their own right. And Wolves won't ever be able to make another Diadem or Black Cascade.

I don't think it sounds like a ChatGPT Frankenstein composition - but it does sound like leftovers and odd ends from "Primordial Arcana." Sometimes bands release EPs like that - little bonus addendums for the fans who wanted more after the main event. Such releases typically do sound self-referential and aren't really indicative of a lack of creative drive on their own...

WITTR is done, we should thank them very much for old albums, that are simply : Immortal !

Though I have a huge soft spot for WITTR, I must say, they've been prating the almost same song writing formula since the Celestial Lineage. And its kinda boring. Same applies to the latest release.

We may not notice but let me assure that wolves lurks behind the pillars and under the throne at the throne room

Throne room is okay but what about The Wolves Trapped Within Burning Machinery at The Ruins of Beverast?

Sounds plausible, do you know that for sure or is it just conjecture? Would be kinda disappointing if they only had sales in mind with that..

I thought the latest album was a big step up, but something about their more recent music has lost some of the magic of Two Hunters and Celestial Lineage to me. I don't know what it is. For any others who really miss the Two Hunters sound, check out these guys: https://endlessreturning.bandcamp.com/album/severance

It keeps growing on me as well, I'm almost starting to think that I like it more than Celestial Lineage, but I need some additional time to really be sure.

The more you listen to Primordial Arcana, the better it sounds. Each song is a very good combination of atmosphere, some primal BM aggression (not much) and lots of nature landscapes (yes, a sound landscape, haha). Definitely one of my AOTY.

Two Hunters is one of the most beautiful black metal albums. At least, it's not good if you are into black metal while having no idea about the current moon phase and what the flowers grow.

it fucking drives me nuts that they took the "normal" version of primordial arcana off of spotify and now i have to ruin my charts with that stupid (Bonus Track Edition) if i want to use spotify. so am i really gonna download an album that's actually on spotify to stream if from local because of my last.fm autism? i'm afraid i will.

So, what about "Skyclad Passage", the bonus track? Is it just me or is it really that pointless? It doesn't really fit anywhere, neither in between "Underworld Aurora" and "Masters Of Rain And Storm", as it is on the 2LP-Version, nor after "Eostre", as it is on the download version.

Personally I find it to fit really well between Underworld Aurora and Masters of Rain and Storm

We'll have to agree to disagree then, because I really like Skyclad Passage :D I relistened my LP and find it fits great between the two songs (and also checked the bandcamp, and imo they also transition fine without it). The only thing weird is that they put it after the Outro in the download version, that must be some sort of mistake.

I find bonus tracks to be tricky. They often don't really fit and are tacked onto the end of the album. I really like Skyclad Passage, but I agree, Eostre is a great, natural closer. does the bonus track mess up the holistic nature of the album? I'll listen to the album a handful more times and figure that out for myself.

It is a pity that they abandoned the transcendental style they defined in their first three albums and that awesome ep. They are still enjoyable though.

eh, I can take or leave the long song length. I mean, I love longer songs, but its not necessary. And I quite disagree with "no fuzz", it's all over this album. But I understand what you're getting at.

Yeah, those days were filled with great feedback and force, a lot of synths and a lot of punk energy. After Thrice Woven, it's like they want to connect some black metal folk to their songs, going with less atmosphere and more a direct approach. Not bad, i mean, it's just not WITTR-like. And for me that's a shame considering i am not all that big on black metal, i listen to some bands here and there. They remind me a slight bit of Agalloch due to their nature of songs. I think their magnum opus was Celestial Lineage by far.

Nothing like lazy burzum ripoffs with somewhat decent synths. This bands is way more entertaining tell than kraklice, still not as good as grand Belials key, panopticon, imperial triumphant and mare cognitum.
