Dear WITTR,
Why are you so awesome? Just curious.

-a fan.

"Is it really just some hilarious rumor that you live in the woods and eat your own homegrown vegetables or what?"

Is it necessary to live in the woods in order to denounce consumerism or is there just mad good weed there?

ask them how much they get their shrooms for

ask them why their latest album has no forward progression or any atmospheric elements whatsoever

Kirk or Picard?

-- Thor

Ask them where they got their name from

Ask them for tips on owning and maanging your own farm because I love working on one but I actually want to create my own farm on about 10 acres in the future.

Kirk or Picard?

-- Thor

Vegan, Vegetarian or Flesh-eater?

What are their favorite pastimes?

Ask them where they got their name from

"Was the usage of lead clean vocals something you always wanted to try, or was there another reason for the change?"

Kirk > Picard by default.

Serious Questions:

-Where's the Diadem of 12 Stars album cover photo from?
-What do you think of the rest of the USBM scene?


Non-Serious Questions:

-If you were a wolf, how grim would you be?
-Are black metal groupees hot?

Excellent question Harrison. I heard black metal shows had hot chicks, well according to Decibel but that...would be the one to ask besides farming tips.

-Where's the Diadem of 12 Stars album cover photo from?
-What do you think of the rest of the USBM scene?
-If you were a wolf, how grim would you be?
-Are black metal groupees hot?

Well that chick from Sigh is moderately sexy.

1. Who were the best and worst bands on Scion Rock Fest?

-do you own any Born to Roam wolf shirts? they get you mad pussy fyi
-what do you use to record/any specific techniques to achieve a unique sound?

Serious Question:

1. What are your main influences in the black metal scene/ music in general?

"What's the funniest thing that's happened on tour?"
Standard I know, but most musicians have some hilarious stories. Just a thought really.
Also ask if they listen to Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

ok ok. time for the real ones.
1. Explain the writing process for your songs. a. Do you all collaborate equally or is there a primary writer? b. Black Cascade is a little bit more traditional in sound when compared to the stretches of atmospheric/shoe-gazy passages found on Two Hunters and to a lesser extent on Diadem. Did you start writing with that in mind or did it develop in that direction over time?
2. What are your thoughts on the state of the USBM scene?
3. From where outside the metal genre do you draw influence.
4. Rigs/gear set up

Who let the wolves in the throne room?

woof, woof woof.
no, what I'd like to know is why there is such a vast difference between their live shows and the records. when I saw them they had only two very brief atmospheric parts (and no clean vocals at all), one at the beginning and one during the show. and during the second one people were shouting kinda angrily something like they should stop that nonsense and go on with the heavy shit. just what they think about stuff like that?

ok, while reading through the comments I realised that the new album seems to be less atmospheric all in all. so forget that one. but the reason for the lack of clean vocals on their live shows would be interesting.

unless you're thinking of some weird clean vocals im not aware of pretty much all of them are done by female vocalists, either Jamie Myers or Jessika Kenney depending on release. Those broads are in other bands, so that's why the vocals aren't executed live.

Who let the wolves in the throne room?

who? who? who? who? who?

Did you ever consider getting a more plausible band name?

I mean it's a given to never, ever, ever let wolves in a throne room

What other bands are those broads in? I am highly curious because I dig both singers.

Some Queries!

1). The first track off of the new LP, "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog," is based on the famous romantic oil painting, "Der Wanderer uber dem Nebelmeer" by Casper David Friedrich. Have you guys taken cues or inspiration from other such works of art? Is there common interest for romanticism/art among the members? If so, how/when did that interest develop? How exactly do you reflect the imagery/mood of such works of art in your music?
2.) (I might be wrong about this)... You guys recently finished touring abrouad. How does the response compare to reactions yo've encountered in the States?

That's it for me. You're pretty lucky for getting to talk to these guys. I imagine they're pretty interesting characters.

holy shit do you people not see that he said to send them via email

wait i'm a dumbass don't listen to me

seriously people

"Well I'm a dumbass don't listen to me."

Gotcha.

Um it says either fucktard. Give me your money.

in the cumming week

Boxers or briefs?
Seriously though, it's probably a pretty obvious question to ask but maybe ask if what they listen to on a daily basis consists of mainly metal or if they listen to a wide variety of things. Also, maybe if they like any bands/artists that most people wouldn't expect them to?

lead clean vocals jackass, not just vocals dispersed amongst the album
