"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.

Posts: 18619 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.

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.
