Wolvencrown - Celestial Lands

Wolvencrown is back with their sophomore studio album, Celestial Lands.

Wolvencrown is an atmospheric black metal band based in Nottingham, UK. Five years after their debut Of Bark And Ash, the English quintet is back with their sophomore studio album, Celestial Lands.

Celestial Lands was recorded at Stuck on a Name Studios in Nottingham and marks a clear step forward in the band's path, so much that Wolvencrown started playing these new songs live years before actually releasing them. Pieces from Celestial Lands, in fact, have been part of the band's live gigs since 2022.

Wolvencrown's take on black metal is based on long, keyboard-layered structures, with songs seldom clocking in at less than eight or nine minutes. The solemnity of keyboards, though, is balanced by the fury and rage of guitar riffs and fast drumming, making Celestial Lands a varied and diverse effort. Different from the atmospheric black metal you often hear coming from the Pacific Northwest, Wolvencrown melodies have deep roots in the European tradition, while their lyrics deal with nature, its spirits and the damage Man has caused.

Celestial Lands marks the second collaboration between the English band and the Italian long-standing label Avantgarde Music, and
