The Denver, Colorado atmospheric black/folk metal band has heavily integrated elements of American Western music into not only their sound, but their mentality. We talked to guitarist/vocalist Shane McCarthy to dive into their unusual perspective.
We unveil a new single from the Denver quartet's upcoming full-length "A Romance with Violence" -- here, Wayfarer echoes the American West through cinematic songwriting and dense atmospherics.
We highlight five bands playing this year's installment of NWTF (from Thantifaxath to Thou and more) -- even if you can't make it this time, the lineup makes one hell of a playlist.
Currently an editor at Bandcamp, you've also seen Zoe's metal writing at Revolver, Pitchfork, CLRVYNT, and more. She stopped by to let IO know what she liked best this year.
