The record is set 1000 years in the future. Survivors of a cataclysm wander the haunted ruins and post-apocalyptic religion takes form in a wild landscape.
“Ghosts in the Obelisks” Music Video Streaming Now
Estuary is raw and volatile with the storming sensuality of noisy industrial elements, evolving through the domain of warm rain, majestic forests and diffused starlight. Massive percussion and seething gothic guitars wipe the listener’s psyche clear of all stagnation, transforming them into active, evolutionary conduits.
Wolves in the Throne Room will be opening portals and performing songs from Estuary on the "Knights of Tiamat Tour" across the UK and Europe this fall, followed by the USA in early 2027.

MORBID STENCH unleashed "THE ROTTING WAYS OF DOOM", 8/24/2022 via EL CONJURO RECORDS.
FROM MORBID STENCH:
The propagation hour has finally arrived...
We are glad to officially announce that MORBID STENCH will release its third full-length album DOOM METÁSTASIS in October 2026 through Nuclear Winter Records, Putrid Cult Records, and Morbid Skull Records.
DOOM METÁSTASIS is a conceptual album whose narrative describes the deterioration through the hidden anatomy of corruption, tracing a transformation that begins as an insignificant fracture within the self but slowly and gradually unfolds into total dissolution. Across its six songs, DOOM METÁSTASIS follows the emergence of an unseen force that seduces, mutates, and finally absorbs all identity into an endless cycle of propagation.
To embody its vision, the cover artwork features an extract from Peter Paul Rubens' monumental masterpiece The Great Last Judgment (1614–1617), whose overwhelming imagery perfectly mirrors the neverending and earthly collapse explored throughout the album.
Musically, we tried to balance slow crushing passages with oppressive atmospheres, and structured, sections where we tried to expand our scope and artistic vision while maintaining the heaviness, darkness, and underground spirit that define MORBID STENCH and resulting in what we consider our most ambitious work so far (musically and conceptually).
DOOM METÁSTASIS will be available in three physical formats for this first European version: • Vinyl • Cassette • CD
More details—including an official visualizer video for one of the tracks — will be disclosed soon.
Also there will be additional editions in other countries with additional mighty labels that will be announced late this year.

BTW, we're straight edge, and we don't like drug addicts. All sources are attributed, there are NO illegal downloads here. Please support music and not rumors. ITP recommends that readers are 18 and up, we are not responsible for raising your kids.
I don't like people whom don't respect the metal genres, or ME following me on or offline, stalking or menacing me, any obsessions, or neighbors looking to fight, or make a delusional conspiracy theory out of nothing, so I will take legal action to define a boundary with posers and bullies. These bullies are NOT allowed at our or any metal shows.

ITP V.015 new policy does NOT allow FEEDS without permission and consent from ITP's author.Consent means sign up for said syndicate, chances are, ITP V.013 was taken without CONSENT, and not without express written consent.
ITP does NOT endorse sexism, fascism, racism homophobia nor porn NONE of that, and ITP is NOT responsible for any statements or actions via readers, artists or bands, separating the artists and musicians from ITP V.018's author.
All videos and music featured on ITP come straight from the labels and bands official YOU TUBE, VIMEO, SOUNDCLOUD and BANDCAMP accounts (I hope they go viral), under fair use, all rights reserved to the artists and labels, courtesy of the bands and labels.
ITP V.20/21's author writes alone, and always has. ITP V.020/21s TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS (and copy written) as ITP V.020/21 is a media partner for the music/metal industry and under fair use promoting music.
ITP REVIEWS are independent of record labels and others, record labels nor anyone can not censor ITP reviews, making a distinction between Public Relations, advertising as reviews are independent via ITP and have to be independent of record labels..
Censorship regarding issues of denial will NOT be tolerated from anyone nor individuals, sites, as they will be legally liable for slander and defamation of character in a lawsuit.
ITP is NOT associated with DEATH (Although I'm a fan) ITP V.020 is NOT a DEATH fan site, as ITP V.021 is a extreme metal news portal/blog for and about extreme metal.
ITP RESERVES SOME RIGHTS AS IN "FAIR USE" IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC, METAL and ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTION AND REVIEWS.
SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself
BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?.
BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond.
A couple of issues I would like to address:
ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you.
ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like.
It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful.
ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox.
I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. .
ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal..
There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist.
A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues.
Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right.
ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal.
ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label.
BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/
