"Black Cascade" marks the third full length release from the Olympia, Washington based black metal band. The album contains all the component parts those of you familiar with WITTR would expect. The tracks all easily clock in at epic length, with each of the four songs clearing the ten-minute mark. The band's trademark shimmering tremolo-picked riffs are ever present. There are also short quiet interludes with falling rain or winds to showcase the nature and weather of the Pacific Northwest that is so near and dear in the hearts of these Wolves. Read more ›› |

Sounds like a bunch of trees masturbating to wolf porn especially good on lo-fi speakers!

I still can't for the life of me understand why this is regarded as their worst. My second favorite of theirs after Two Hunters.

Written by Alex F on 24.01.2013 at 17:23 A very nice album indeed... It's just that the others rock harder.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 24.01.2013 at 18:12 I guess it just sounds a little darker than the others which appeals to me. All of their releases are fantastic though so it is hard to choose favorites.

Written by Alex F on 24.01.2013 at 18:14 I wouldn't call it darker... I guess it just sounds a bit more "regular black" to most people and not as majestic as they usually play. But yeah, these guys are hella consistent so far. Can't fail with any of the Wolves' albums.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 13.10.2014 at 14:10 It certainly is Wolves weakest, even if one has experience with and likes electronic music

The Malevolent Grain EP is the only one I didn't enjoy that much. As for the rest, I utterly love the Wolves, and this album makes no exception. Ahrimanic Trance must be one of the best BM songs I've ever heard.

Written by [user id=142921] on 13.10.2014 at 06:29 I'm much more fond of their BM with ambient elements stuff rather than their purely ambient stuff (Celistite). The debut and Two Hunters are both fantastic albums.

I always loved this one, too. Perhaps because it was my first album of Wolves. Definitely their weakest when it comes to BM, but quiet enjoyable on its own.
