Barring the recent release of their BBC Session 2011 Anno Domini live 12", Wolves In The Throne Room have been keeping a low profile since the conclusion of the world-spanning tour that supported their most recent LP, Celestial Lineage. Now, word comes that the band, along with producer Randall Dunn, has been quietly cultivating the next chapter in their ongoing musical evolution. While little else is known of the impending recordings as of now, the brothers Weaver have confirmed that, the music is currently in the final stages, being prepared for release in the first quarter of 2014. An official communiqué on WITTR's impending 2014 actions will be announced very early in the New Year.
Let the flags rain on me but I reallyyyy Hope that sleeps new album will actually be real songs like holy mountain and not just long 22 min jams that go nowhere
I think it'll be def be real songs, but they'll probably be around 10 minutes each. Assuming Antratican's Thawed and Sonic Titan are recorded, it'll be awesome.
Origin recently returned home after a successful tour with Gorguts (successful minus vocalist Jason Keyser dislocating his finger while on stage) and will enter the studio. Drummer John Longstreth checked in to give us the following update:
"So in a couple of days, we're off to the land of OZ to start working on the 6th Origin album entitled Omnipresent. Again, we are very lucky to have Nuclear Blast USA on our side to support and release the album. We figured it would only make sense to return to Chapman Recording in Lenexa, KS and torture poor Robert Rebeck with our decompositions, until he's able to (at risk of his own sanity) chip away at this mess of music and render it into a cohesive auditory masterpiece! As usual, expect all the classic Origin devices and surprises that drives this band with every new album. Be ready for heaviness; this album is going to crush.
"Speaking of old and new, we are also very excited to mark the studio premier of Jason Keyser as Origin's vocalist. Please send him your love, prayers, general good energy, meditation, money, etc. for we are surely sure to 'show him a good time' in the studio. Origin records albums in a somewhat masochistic, chaotic, and senseless fashion. It's our best trick, and we need the best guy for our best trick, so that's why we have Jason. He's had two years of hard road work with the band and we know he's the guy. For those that weren't aware, Origin recorded Entity as a trio without a proper vocalist, so we are very excited to have Jason in to do what a proper vocalist is supposed to do, and in the end leave less work for Paul and Mike!
