is the album of the fire. With lyrical background based on Earth
through the Crowley-legal perspective that characterizes almost all his
works Lipinsky. With the delivery of Darkthrone, the Thralldom, and
bizarre twist typical of creator. With a black metal so old fashioned
and so fresh at the same time. With melodies that do not have
compassion, but freeze the blood. With warm sonic underground doom and
soul of two of the leading visionaries of modern general doom.
Things are simply, the Howling Wind kathieronontai finally here as one of the leading black metal bands of our time. Insurmountable. "

here is the translation:
"My beloved THW have just created their third full-length in which the band's leading figure (Ryan Lipynsky) elevates his personal style and becomes colder than ever. An unstoppable, Celtic Frost-like musical orgy is the driving force of the band's orchestral rituals. In this album, the occult element is more vivid than ever for Ryan's lyrical approach over Babalon and the related writings of Aleister Crowley (Thelema system) surrounds the whole record with a veil of mysticism. It would be at least unfair to explain the origin and carreer of THW because even if they were born through the ashes of unforgettable Thralldom (try their swan song, A Shaman Steering the Vessel of Vastness) they have evolved into a monster who reaps the USBM scene of the last years. It's safe, I think, to say that THW's new effort, under the "Of Babalon" alias, is the best goddamn thing ever released from this duet. I'd also dare to say this is one of the 3 best albums in Ryan's enire carreer. The rhythms are overwhelming, immersive and furious. Some swirling guitar themes make the whole chaos, paranoia and psychedelia even more intense. Songs like "Scaling the Walls" can rip your flesh with emotion. "The Mountain View" slightly throws up certain Unearthly Trance nuances, hailing the end of one of the most important bands of 00s. Just listen to the song's introduction and you'll get seduced by all these cave-y feelings of their first and last album. Tim Call plays the PERFECT drums for this so cleverly structured music. With ease, this is one of the most important records, not just of the running year, but of the latter years generally. Well done, Ryan! Still, you haven't disappointed us."

new album complete! new song!
http://www.profoundlorerecords.com/the-howling-wind-complete-work-on-new-album/http://soundcloud.com/profoundlorerecords/the-howling-wind-the-mountain
Brooklyn/Portland black metal duo THE HOWLING WIND have completed work on their most vicious and uncompromising album to date, the follow-up to “Into The Cryosphere” entitled “Of Babalon”.
Formed by Ryan Lipynsky (Unearthly Trance, The Serpentine Path) after the demise of the cult black metal legend THRALLDOM (one of the most important U.S. black metal bands ever), who would then immediately be joined by ALDEBARAN drummer/vocalist Tim Parasitic, THE HOWLING WIND would continue THRALLDOM’s black metal genesis by carrying on Lipynsky’s virulent black metal vision and morphing it into a new beast. With THE HOWLING WIND, Lipynsky (who we view as one of the most prominent American underground extreme metal musicians today) and Parasitic uphold genuine and real black metal vision. One that is of course inherent in the music and the lyrics/themes that THE HOWLING WIND craft; music that upholds the ancient traditions of the genre and intelligently woven lyrics and themes which are deeply rooted in the occult, the religious, the sinister and the metaphysical as opposed to the nonsense of society/social awareness lyrics found in some so-called black and death metal today. THE HOWLING WIND are the real deal.
Recorded in The Thousand Caves by Colin Marston and to be released July 17th, tracklisting for “Of Babalon” goes as follows:
- The Seal Upon The Tomb
- Beast Of The Sea
- Graal
- Scaling The Walls
- The Mountain View
- Abominations And Filth
- Choronzon
- Gateways

Despite how this is framed in the opener, I really like Norway. I was just making a point how even in Norway, black metal is very mainstream and not what it once was. That was the point. Also the bottom is obvious an error.

"HOWLING WIND, THE Into The Cryosphere (Profound Lore) cd 13.98
Before even hearing a note, we were sold. You really can't argue with an album called Into The Cryosphere, not to mention the fact that this bears the stamp of the always amazing Profound Lore label, AND this duo features Ryan Lipynsky of doom lords Unearthly Trance and punkers Villains. The Howling Wind definitely writhe in some of the same blackened sludge as UT, but with an approach that is heavily indebted to the hateful black metal we can never get enough of, with a thrashiness that is hypnotic, relentless, and pretty much the kind of thing your mother wouldn't ever want you listening to. Their punked out approach snakes around the Cryosphere through all sorts of passages, taking you along for a super negative death trip reminiscent of Deathspell's more thugged out excursions on Kenose. The riffs are thick and burly, the drums heavy as fuck, and you will marvel over how appropriate a name like The Howling Wind is, as the whole album seems shrouded in an uncontrollable, icy wind. Not surprising then that the band would cook up song titles like "Teeth Of Frost", "Ice Cracking In The Abyss", and "A Dead Galaxy Mirrored In An Icy Mirage". Lipynsky certainly sounds like a man of conviction here, with his super tough, throatshredding vocals telling you how it's gonna be. Totally nihilistic and hateful with a sense of fuck all despair, it's also surprisingly catchy with riffs just won't let up, which will surely keep this one blasting out of our speakers for quite some time.

Check out a new song on the Profound Lore site:
"Teeth of Frost"
"THE HOWLING WIND - Complete New Album, New MP3 Posted
Formed by Ryan Lipynsky (the artist formerly known as Killusion, also of UNEARTHLY TRANCE of course) after the demise of THRALLDOM (one of the most prominent and important U.S. black metal bands ever), and now in conspiracy with drummer Tim Call (ALDEBARAN), THE HOWLING WIND have completed work on their new album “Into The Cryosphere”.
Following the band’s relentless “Pestilence & Peril” debut, THE HOWLING WIND have created an even more relentless, vicious, colder, and overall all-encompassing album with “Into The Cryosphere”. This time though, THE HOWLING WIND will plunge the listener into the cold, desolate, and unholy wastelands of Antarctica, as said realm becomes the backdrop and central theme that envelopes the harsh black metal virulence of “Into The Cryosphere”.
Whereas a band like Immortal paint such a realm as Antarctica as a playful winter wonderland, THE HOWLING WIND’s sonic portrayal of Antarctica is a harsh and primal journey through the barren terrain of a mighty and barren kingdom of frozen landscapes and fields. A lifeless and desolate kingdom filtered through old-school, noisy, doom-filled black metal that takes cue from such legends as CELTIC FROST/HELLHAMMER, BATHORY, old-school DARKTHRONE, and AUTOPSY, while harboring a pedigree seeped within occult nature and lore. Overall, “Into The Cryosphere” is a depiction of the fall of humanity reflected through a sheet of ice.
To be released late April, tracklisting for “Into The Cryosphere” goes as follows:
1. The Seething Wrath Of A Frigid Soul
2. Teeth Of Frost
3. Obscured Pyramid
4. Ice Cracking In The Abyss
5. Will Is The Only Fire Under An Avalanche
6. Impossible Eternity
7. A Dead Galaxy Mirrored In An Ice Mirage"
