WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM - Celestial Lineage US tour poster


Wolves In The Throne Room unveiled the third album in their lp trilogy which started with "Two Hunters" and was followed by "Black Cascade".  Whilst the misty, lunar atmosphere of the previous albums is still present here, there is also a sense of majesty and perhaps even warmth. A time of transition and the potential for transcendence. In the bands own words "much of Celestial Lineage focuses on earth magick and the power and beauty of nature but it also speaks of the stars and the astral world beyond.  The previous records are rather primal and feral - this one is more aristocratic. We wanted to create the Liturgical Music of the Cedar Cult".

The veiled and shadowed figures depicted previously have now moved into plain sight, and have taken position on self-appointed thrones. The foundations of a new orthodoxy are being built. The Hierophant takes female form in a religion that has grown from the earth and now gazes toward the heavens.



This poster was part of the official tour series printed by Broken Press.

    1. Thanks Niamh! I only have a couple of personal copies which I'm hanging on to for exhibition etc, but the band still have a few copies available on their webstore.
