On September 13th, black metal experimentalists Wolves In the Throne room will be dropping a new album via Southern Lord: Celestial Lineage. And to be honest, I wasn’t sure if I was gonna be looking to this one. I wasn’t a fan of the band’s output since

New video for the title track from Kangding Ray’s “OR.” The Germany-based electronica artist’s latest album of the same title is out now, but not in America. It’s currently on raster-noton, but there’s always digital if the import prices are killing you. Anyway, the tracks on
