#18 - Watain - The Wild Hunt

After nearly 3 demanding years of touring, Watain composed what could be considered their most grandiose and divisive album of their career. The mythologies and lore that surrounded the group were more present than ever in the record’s concept and lyrical themes. Musically, it was just as venomous and violent as their previous offerings, while still managing to push the boundaries of their sound into new territory. The inclusion of traditional vocals, hooks, and even a ballad, aimed to cement Watain as an anomaly of the genre. This week on Riff Worship, Austin & Dylan discuss the 2013 black metal opus The Wild HuntRecommendations: Krieg - "Solitarily, A Future Renounced" Body Void - "Flesh Market" Ragana - "Desolation's Flower" Afterbirth - "Tightening The Screws" Dying Fetus - "Throw Them in the Van" Tyler Childers - "In Your Love"For all updates on the show, follow us here:@distortion891 on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tune in LIVE to Vocal Distortion, Mondays at 6PM CST on FM89, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WONC.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, & the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠iHeart Radio app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen to our Riffs on Repeat playlist here!
