Wolves in the Throne Room Estuary album release

Overview

American black metal band Wolves in the Throne Room has released their eighth studio album, ‘Estuary’. The record is a post-apocalyptic concept piece set 1,000 years in the future, exploring a world where nature and new mythologies emerge from the ruins of industrial civilization. Released on October 23, 2026, via Relapse Records in North America and Century Media in other markets, the six-track album features long-form compositions such as ‘Knights of Tiamat’, ‘Foretold in Reflections’, ‘The Orca Cliffs’, ‘Ghosts Among the Obelisks’, and ‘Wretched Spirits, Land of the Light’. The project was produced by the band at their Owl Lodge studio in Olympia, Washington, and emphasizes texture and intensity through 24-bit/96 kHz mastering.

Contributing members include Nathan Weaver (guitar/vocals), Aaron Weaver (drums/synths), Kody Keyworth (guitar/vocals), and Galen Baudhuin (bass/vocals).

To support the release, the band has announced several touring efforts. This includes the ‘Knights of Tiamat Tour’ across the UK and Europe, featuring support from Worm and Final Dose. Additionally, an extensive North American tour is scheduled for early 2027, running from January 12 in Vancouver through February 10 in Seattle, with support from Stygian Bough and Spirit Possession. The tour will visit major cities including Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Tickets for the North American dates were scheduled to go on sale October 9.
