WATAIN's wild hunt starts now! The Swedish black metal trio will first unleash The Wild Hunt this week in Sweden (August 14th) and Germany (August 16th), with the UK (August 19th), North America (August 20th), and the rest of the world following early next week. For a preview of WATAIN's new album, be sure to check out the previously released singles ("All That May Bleed" and "The Child Must Die") and an in-depth interview with vocalist Erik Danielsson here: https://youtu.be/cq6DjvEWjzs

After 15 years of delivering a frighteningly unique brand of black metal, WATAIN continues to push boundaries with their fifth full-length, The Wild Hunt, refusing to compromise their sound and vision. Amid the tracks teeming with the trio's classic sound,the album also features clean vocals, Spanish guitars, and other musical experimentation, with the end result being "their most daring album yet" (Decibel Magazine). In Decibel Magazine's September issue (on newsstands and online here), a special cover story is devoted to WATAIN and this sonic and lyrical tour-de-force, marking the band's third appearance on the magazine's cover.
Read on for some reviews about WATAIN and their critically acclaimed new album, The Wild Hunt:
"[WATAIN's] most daring album yet." -- DECIBEL MAGAZINE
"There's a window in time where certain bands are the most dangerous or the most powerful in the world...Right now, that band is WATAIN." -- DEL JAMES (long-time GUNS N' ROSES road manager), DECIBEL MAGAZINE
"...if you were to put WATAIN's catalog alongside METALLICA's, you'd notice an almost eerie mirroring effect: 2000 debut 'Rabid Death's Curse' is WATAIN's 'Kill 'Em All'; 2003's 'Casus Luciferi' is their 'Ride The Lightning'; 2007's 'Sworn To The Dark' is their 'Master Of Puppets'; and 2010's 'Lawless Darkness' is their '...And Justice For All'. Which makes WATAIN's forthcoming fifth LP, 'The Wild Hunt', their 'Black Album,' and the similarities are striking: 'The Wild Hunt' is WATAIN's most straightforward collection, their most traditional rock-based collection; it's also a tremendous leap, from the lofty, daunting - and perhaps inaccessible - peaks previously scaled by the band into a wide, deep, very big pond." -- STEREOGUM.com
