PROUDLY SPONSORED BY: Wolves In The Throne Room Spreading their black metal gospel from Seattle to the world HOW DOES IT FEEL TO WIN AN AWARD FOR BEST UNDERGROUN­D BAND? NATHAN WEAVER: “It’s kind of weird, because when we started the band, we never thought anyone outside of the West coast of america would hear us. The world of black metal and doom metal in america has changed so much in that time, so to come to london to get an award for representi­ng this music is wild.” DO YOU THINK THE WORLD WILL CONTINUE TO EMBRACE EXTREME AND UNDERGROUN­D MUSIC EVEN FURTHER, AND HOW WILL THAT AFFECT YOU? “I think we’ll just continue to do what we do already, Which is be true to what we do artistical­ly, play to our fans, and try to travel as much of the world as we can, bringing our music to people. as far as commercial­ity is concerned, that really isn’t part of our plan or our thoughts at all. although if other people from any other background or scene were to become interested in us and our music, then that’s cool, too. But the undergroun­d has been good to us, and we have this honour to show for it.”
