With the aid of producer Randall Dunn, the band unearthed a hidden soundscape that is only loosely tethered to their familiar sound, yet is still unmistakably the work of Wolves in the Throne Room.

There is no sense of an ensemble of musicians and their audience gathered together in worshipful reverence of nature and our more feral selves.
Without an inkling of conventional song structure to latch on to, Celestite frees itself to invite your attention rather than command it. The record then unfolds as a single piece, a 46 minute long journey into exotica wherein foreign landscapes are soundtracked by an orgy of sound, simmering with sinister tension and feral beauty alike. At no point does the record devolve into lazy sub- Burzum repetition, nor does the ambitious amount of instrumental layering veer too far into the hackneyed and contrived to charm the imagination as much as it does.
As free as Celestite becomes to explore and experiment without having to defer to the trappings of heavy metal fundamentals, it becomes just as alien and unrelatable almost by design.
