December Wolves - Wolftread



December Wolves is yet another US black metal band that really never got their due. Three full length albums, each one a journey into a different black metal sub-genre. The first album "'Til Ten Years" was atmospheric/folk black metal. The next release "Completely Dehumanized", was a black/thrash masterpiece and their final release appropriately named "Blasterpiece Theatre" was an experiment in industrial black metal, heavy on the sampling.

In 1994 December Wolves released
what would be one of my personal favorite demo tapes that I own. It's a glimpse at the brilliance to come from this very underrated band. "Wolftread" is the same kind of atmospheric folk black metal that was prevalent on their first full-length release. Skillful musicianship, great songwriting and nice sound quality highlight this release. A superb release that's worth checking out.
