CRITIC REVIEWS

This is, simply put, a beautifully composed black metal record that stands up with all the greats.
90
I can easily see it lacking the longevity of their other albums, but for now it’s damn good to see the Weavers doing what they do best...screaming about natural nonsense and making some excellent black metal.

By its end, Thrice Woven not only serves as one of this year’s most promising metal releases, but it also stands as something purely monolithic and even transcendental – a collection of songs, showcasing a band’s evolution that leaves you in full levitation, locked in paralysis, and at a moment’s notice, you dissipate completely wondering how you made it home.
80
It doesn’t break any boundaries, and it’s not a reinvention of the band’s sound, but it is spectacular proof of black metal’s continued power and effectiveness.

Wolves in the Throne Room has produced a record that might not break much new ground but is well composed and powerful, and it can act as the origin point for the band’s next fascinating chapter.
80
It’s an absolute pleasure to have them back again.

Thrice Woven might be the most straightforward collection of ragers Wolves In The Throne Room have yet pulled from the misty wilderness of the Pacific Northwest.
70
As the first step in the next chapter of Wolves In The Throne Room’s story, Thrice Woven moves decidedly in the right direction.
70
Thrice Woven marks the welcome return of the power and dark majesty of one America's most original metal bands.

Where once we witnessed the group tilling the fields, Thrice Woven presents the bounty on a shining plate. WITTR still provide a plentiful feast, but the sense of having earned Mother Nature's gifts is diminished.

Wolves in the Throne Room make a predictable return to their atmospheric black metal sound.

Thrice Woven is WITTR deboned. As welcome as it is that they’ve dropped Celestite’s pseudo-kosmische schtick, they’ve come back with a facsimile of what once was.
50
I’m genuinely glad that Wolves in the Throne Room have elected to re-embrace their black metal nature, but while I certainly don’t hate this album, I do find it underwhelming all the same.
Some truly great riffs and atmospheric moments but not up to par with some of WITTR's other records. Still, this is a nice release in the large field of Atm BM albums.
