Wolves in the Throne Room is a Washington-based black metal band made up of brothers Aaron and Nathan Weaver. They have released six albums since their formation in 2003, as well as two live albums and an EP. Unlike other groups in the genre, the band doesn’t wear corpse paint, don pseudonyms, or use Satanic imagery, instead focusing on channeling the “energies of the Pacific Northwest’s landscape” into their music. They are known for their atmospheric use of synthesizers, classic instrumentation, and nature sounds to create slow-moving, ambient black metal.
