Misantropic
Sacrilege
Heresy
Insect Warfare
Wolves in the Throne Room
Altar of Plagues

As well as old favourites like:

Neurosis
Mastodon
Slayer
Emperor
etc

At this precise moment listening to the five track sampler of the soundtrack stuff Trent Reznor wrote for The Social Network.

Anything with 'Wolf' or 'Wolves' in the name or song title gets my thumbs up :-D

Haven't seen you in a while...

Hey Lars.

Apologies that I haven't been around, I've been out of town visiting family for the last three weekends (before this one). We should definitely catch up sometime.

Wolves in the Throne Room are pretty good in my opinion: live they are absolutely immersive: they deck out the stage with tree branches and UV painted backdrops, and they douse everything in an eerie green glow. Their tunes are long and lush; between this and their environmental lyrical bent, I reckon they are less Black Metal than Green Metal.

A good band to catch if they come back any time soon.
