American Black Metal overlords&nbsp;WOLVES&nbsp;IN THE&nbsp;THRONE&nbsp;ROOM&nbsp;return with a new EP,&nbsp;Crypt&nbsp;of&nbsp;Ancestral&nbsp;Knowledge. Featuring four new tracks spanning the scope&nbsp;of&nbsp;WOLVES&nbsp;IN THE&nbsp;THRONE&nbsp;ROOM's cinematic black metal and dark acoustic folk, the EP also sees the band carry listeners through a journey&nbsp;of&nbsp;atmospheric industrial tracks and darker sonic territories. The EP opens with “Beholden to Clan”, a blazing slab&nbsp;of&nbsp;Symphonic Black Metal. Guitarist Kody Keyworth comments, “Journeying high atop a sacred mountain, the song recalls the importance&nbsp;of&nbsp;the sacrificed king's cycle&nbsp;of&nbsp;rebirth through&nbsp;ancestral&nbsp;hallucinogenic rights&nbsp;of&nbsp;passage. It’s a wild trip. Hail Othila!” Elsewhere, “Twin Mouthed Spring” follows. This new track features vocals and acoustic guitar performed by founding&nbsp;WOLVES&nbsp;IN THE&nbsp;THRONE&nbsp;ROOM&nbsp;drummer Cedar Serpent who has recently returned to the live stage after a years long hiatus from live performance. He comments, “This song travels to a deep wellspring&nbsp;of&nbsp;passion and creativity. Themes from Celtic Mythology are pulled apart and remade.” Side B&nbsp;of&nbsp;the EP features a different side&nbsp;of&nbsp;the enigmatic band; “Initiates&nbsp;of&nbsp;the White Hart”, an Atmospheric Industrial interpretation&nbsp;of&nbsp;“Spirit&nbsp;of&nbsp;Lightning”, takes this live-set stalwart into deeper dark psychedelic waters while “Crown&nbsp;of&nbsp;Stone”, a ritual dark ambient piece, connects thematically to “Mountain Magic” the lead track on 2021’s Primordial Arcana."
