Two Hunters

[Machine Translation] WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, a supernova in the US black metal scene that has suddenly emerged and is being enthusiastically received not only in metal circles but also in the general US indie scene, has released its second album in a 2CD format unique to Japan! Although the band's musical foundation is black metal, there are no elements of corpse paint (corpse makeup), occult/satanic ostentation, or negative emotions, and the band's approach to depicting the beauty and cruelty of the natural world is something that has never been done before. The fusion of tremolo riffs reminiscent of the original Norwegian/Scandinavian band and shoegaze-style noise is grand, lyrical, dramatic, and even beautiful. The bonus disc will include a few songs from the demo, which was released in 2005, sold out instantly, and is currently fetching a premium of $60-80 on eBay.

突如現れたUSブラック・メタル界の超新星、メタル界隈のみならず一般的USインディ・シーンでも熱狂的に取り上げられるバンドWOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOMの2ndアルバムが日本盤独自の2CDフォーマットで発売!! 音楽的な基礎はブラック・メタルにあるものの、コープス・ペイント(死体メイク)やオカルト/サタニズムじみた仰々しさやネガティヴ感情の放出といった要素は全く見られず、自然界の美しさと残酷さを描こうとする手法は今までありそうで無かったもの。本家ノルウェー/北欧勢を彷彿とさせるトレモロ・リフとシューゲイザー的意匠のノイズの融合は壮大かつ叙情的でドラマティック、美しくさえある。ボーナス・ディスクには、完全未発表音源、そして2005年に発売され瞬時に完売し現在eBayで$60-80のプレミアが付いているデモ音源から数曲を収録予定。
