Hound the Wolves Announce Northwestern Tour; New Video Posted
Portland atmospheric sludge five-piece Hound the Wolves release their debut full-length, Camera Obscura, on Feb. 14. They cite the likes of Earth and Neurosis as influences in a kind of we-play-post-metal dogwhistle, but to that list I’d also add acts like Kylesa when it comes to the opening riff of “Masquerade,” Khanate (never a comparison I make lightly) for the ambient harshness and minimalist desolation of “Omnia in Numeris Sita Sunt” and even Dillinger Escape Plan for some of the screams from guitarist/vocalist Juan Carlos Caceres that are mixed in among cleaner vocals. It’s a rarefied-enough mix that one might almost dare to call it individual.
The band head out on the road to support the release pretty much immediately after it comes out, playing shows in Oregon and Washington over the course of a five-day stretch. They also have a recent official video for album opener “If Lost in Mind” — kind of an intro to the record, which plays out as a singular flow from one song to the next — and you can see that and the tour dates below, both off the PR wire:

About Hound the Wolves:
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.
Hound the Wolves is:
Tim Burke – lap steel, drones, soundscapes
Juan Carlos Caceres – Guitar, vocals, words
Cory DeCaire – Bass
Ryan McPhaill – Drums
Nate Wright – Moog, aux percussion
