Camera Obscura

Master of Alchemy I found this completely by accident, and what a find! It is impossible to pigeonhole this band as their music is high art that eclipses the usual labels. Comparison to Earth has been made, due to the use of lap steel, but where Earth produce a high pitched twang, HtW are much more expressive, creating rich moodscapes and mindscapes which meld perfectly with the intelligent lyrics, exploring existential and metaphysical themes. It made me think of Darren Aronofsky’s 1998 Kabbalistic film Pi. Favorite track: Masquerade.

d00mwizard's Dungeon As usual, Bucky hit the nail on the head for this release. Couldn't have said it better myself! Favorite track: Masquerade.

Bucky This one caught me by surprise. While listening my comparison radar summoned forth a brute strength a la the band Aleph Null while harnessing the atmosphere of Neurosis and/or Earth as recommended. The intense onslaught of psych-ridden sludge metal comes across as highly accessible and mildly erotic.

Burned on the skin Fallen from stars Passed through her light Into her arms Cut off my tongue No need for words This touch is pure Of blood and bones Naked and worn Into her arms If lost in mind Fallen away If lost in mind Fallen away If lost in mind Fallen away If lost in mind Fallen away Cut off my tongue No need for words This touch is pure Of blood and bones Naked and worn Into her arms Fallen away Fallen away Fallen away Fallen away

Masquerade 13:10
Hide your secrets Wear your crown Sacred moment Conscious found Buried under Heavy ground Wreck less wonder Life once lost Crimson ocean Tidal bound Mass controlling Bound by self On division Void of soul Automata Forged shapes becoming real It's all a masquerade It's all in your head If the illusion was real We would not exist Visions of a landscape burning Buried deep inside the mind Amongst the centrifugal Forces which determine life Breathing Don't fall prey, high flies the vulture Circling, the dance of death Primal instincts taking over Scavenger release your glare I'm alive And when you turn around I'm alive And when you turn around Heartbeat in the night Multiple vibrations high Keeping constant pulls me under Into a state that transcends time All that I've seen I can't un-see now Images have burned my eyes Look inside its deceiving Close the door turn off the light I'm alive But when you turn around Am I alive? But when you turn around Black moon fall under my spell Go now and drink from the well Taking control of the tides Only the strong will survive Question not one single thing Freedom lies furthest free Waste not one more precious mind Intellect once was divine Under the dead of the night Rings of Saturn show your light Cloaked in the guise of virtue Shadow the many from view Poisoned from liberating Knowledge is not just the key This curse is the burden of man How is is that we can ascend If there's nowhere to go

9 saved my life Lost Free from time 11 is mine Once We ascend There's 3 ways to fly Dawn Breaks the sky The 3 points align One Paradigm Watch the world burn alive Watch the patterns unite Watch the world burn alive Watch the patterns unite OMNIA IN NUMERIS SITA SUNT

about

“Considering how easy it is to start a doom band that sounds like everyone else, it’s heartening to see a local band forging their own path through the darkness”

Nate Carson, Willamette Week

“Their songs are like spiritual journeys, slowly evolving and discovering themselves, bleeding into each other, and ultimately coalescing into an immersive and transcendent aural experience.”

-Brian Kim, Seattle Passive Aggressive

“Brooding, alluring and mysterious in sonic and visual aesthetics, “If Lost in Mind” establishes the band as true instrumental wizards of metal and psych rock.”

-Downtuned Magazine

“The way this five piece band from Portland /OR layer the sounds and melodies, keep it all spacious and elusive, lucid and obscure at the same time, connect it with a genuine spirituality that avoids all cliché, is quite unique, highly emotional and powerful.”

-Ulla Roschat, Metal Bandcamp

about

Hound The Wolves Portland, Oregon

Portland, Oregon’s Hound the Wolves liken themselves much to the climate that surrounds them - moody, mysterious and beautifully glum. Their creations are rooted in cyclical repetition and contrast, sonically transforming ritualistic practice into dark and gritty psych metal and droned stoner rock. Fans of Earth, Neurosis and U.S. Christmas now have a new band to enjoy. ... more
