WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM – ESTUARY

PRE-ORDER. RELEASED 23rd OCTOBER 2026

Black vinyl LP.

Heretics of the Black Metal genre and the Kings of USBM, Wolves In The Throne Room return with sharpened teeth. Their new album Estuary carries the hallmark of their unyielding dedication to the physical craft and analogue production techniques, executed with zero cut corners.

After more than 20 years, the pioneers of Cascadian Black Metal have neither withered, rested, nor resorted to recycling past glories. They continue to rise with unparalleled strength, and Estuary is their most ferocious and genre-bending record to date.

Wolves In The Throne Room embody nature as active participants of the current, bypassing the confines of a musical landscape which trends towards homogenisation. Massive percussion and seething gothic guitars wipe the listener’s psyche clear of all stagnation, transforming it into a conduit for evolution and renewal.

Rich with alchemical and archetypal imagery, this album operates like eagles and wolves descending upon desolation and entropy, activating the dormant domain with magic and the lethal essence of virility.

The bulk of the album was produced and recorded at the band’s own Owl Lodge studio in Olympia, Washington, with drums tracked by Nicholas Wilbur at The Unknown (a converted former church in Anacortes, Washington).
