HEAVY, DARK ACTION (FOR A GOOD CAUSE) IN OLY >>>

Who better to perform at this charity show - benefiting the Wolftown Wildlife Rehabilitation Project and embattled "Green Scare" pro-Earth advocates - than Wolves in the Throne Room, the lauded, frosty-sounding Olympia noisemakers who are philosophically green, but whose music is ostensibly black (metal)? This homecoming show heralds their return from recent big-time dates like the UK's All Tomorrow's Parties festival, and will be their last local performance for a good while - the genre-blurring trio plans to spend the remaining winter months sinking their fangs into a brand new full-length record, one which will hopefully prove as satisfyingly atmospheric, haunting and intricate as their acclaimed Diadem of 12 Stars, Two Hunters and Black Cascade releases. Their set is sure to be hard and heavy - this ain't your daddy's environmentally-conscious fundraiser.
