5.0 out of 5 stars Get Lost in this!!!!!!!!, November 12, 2007

"Two Hunters" is an interesting title. According to Nathan Weaver(guitarist/vocalist for Wolves, "the concept is about man and bear in pre-historic times, and their struggle for better or worse. Man won-out with his cunning and intelligience." The concept alone requires strong writing, and the music contains wonderful "depth." Each subsequent listen will reveal another nuance. The riffs are not just thrown together, they are placed for their musical reason and with great care. In other words, this contains some awesome songwriting. The male vocals are nothing short of maniacal screams and tortured resonance. Offset these male vocals with imo, the best female vocals I've heard in 2007, and Wolves have created a beautiful juxtoposition. Everything in this music is perfectly placed. Basically, this is one piece of music in 4 sections. The flow is never interrupted and the sound does'nt stagnate. Quite possibly, the best work of Black Metal I've heard since Negura Bunget's "OM" in 2006. Get this and Get lost in an engulfing sound. Best Black Metal album of 2007. Period.

This is a really eclectic album, blending black metal, ambient, prog, and drone into a powerful and heavily atmospheric recording. Unfortunately, Wolves in the Throne Room get more press about their primitivist lifestyle than their music, but their work speaks for itself. Highly recommended for fans of anything from Mayhem to Sunn O)))--if you like dark, loud & moody, this album is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Black Metal??... such a misused label nowadays, November 11, 2007

This band hails from Olympia WA and creates some of the most mystical and beautiful metal Ive heard in a couple of years. As stated, the term Black Metal is thrown around entirely to easy in this day and age, and I wish this could be under control. Wolves in the Throne Room definitely possesses a Black Metal feel but they just go so much deeper and farther than the traditional cult bands, incorporating atmospheric, and a flowing almost trance-like feeling for their listeners. I would encourage fans of all genres of metal to add this to their collection, and read up on this band. Every time I spin either of their discs I am amazed and truly satisfied. Buy Diadem of the 12 Stars as well, you will thank yourself!
