The cover art for Celestial Lineage was created by photographic artist Alison Scarpulla, and the package designed by Aaron Turner (Isis, Twilight, Hydra Head Records). The beautiful, organic layout puts the album conceptually right in line with the band’s previous Two Hunters and Black Cascade releases, and fittingly completes this triad of releases from the band.

In celebration of the new album, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM will take to the road throughout North America in several waves to kick off the touring cycle in support of Celestial Lineage. With very D.I.Y. ethics fueling the tour dates, the horde will perform in many wooded locations and smaller, off-beat venues along the way. Some of these specific locations for the shows won’t be announced until just days before some of the shows, where fans are urged to reference WITTR’s official website for exact show locations and/or directions. More dates are being added and additional tours will follow, but at press time the confirmed routing is posted below.
