Wolves in the Throne Room have grown tired of lording over metal from their icy, mountain-top throne room and have announced (through howling proclamation) that they will be heading to Europe to play a series of shows. In addition to the tour, the pack will also be performing various coordinated track-and-kill hunts on elk and reindeer throughout the European mainland.
The biggest show that the boys have planned is most definitely ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas, which is curated by Godspeed You! Black Emperor and features Neurosis, Black Dice, Dead C, The Ex, Throbbing Gristle, Deerhoof, Charlemagne Palestine, and “Weird Al” Yankovic, who I would never call a nightmare but rather a dream come true.
Large groups of Wolvaniacs this side of the Atlantic are going to feel let down by The Wolves’ lack of shows in the US, but there is one scheduled show in Seattle playing with Neurosis and plenty more are being planned. Watch out prey animals in North America: the Wolves in the Throne Room are coming for you.
