WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM

One of the most important bands in American black metal, Wolves in the Throne Room, will perform on November 3rd at Hype Park in Kraków. Ahead of them, Worm will open the gates to their necropalace, with Final Dose setting the tone for the night.

It’s hard to speak of Wolves in the Throne Room as anything other than one of the leading forces in U.S. black metal. Formed over two decades ago by the Weaver brothers, the band has released seven albums, the latest being “Primordial Arcana,” which came out five years ago. When it comes to the atmospheric side of the genre, Wolves in the Throne Room operate at the highest level - something many of you have likely already experienced firsthand.

Five years after “Foreverglade,” Worm returned this year with its successor, “Necropalace.” The Florida project’s “necromantic black doom” has grown even more monumental, drawing listeners in with rich, expansive arrangements. You can hear the roots in tradition, but the band clearly isn’t concerned with staying within boundaries.

Cold black metal and the raw energy of punk - these are the two pillars of Final Dose. The UK band debuted in 2023 and returned two years later with “Under the Eternal Shadow,” a crushing release filled with icy fury. In early 2026, they followed it up with a new EP, “Endless Woe,” marking another step forward in their evolution.
