<i>No, this is not a reissue of the
horrible album by Oceano released five years ago. So, things are already
off to a good start. Nor is this a release from an alternative commune
in which men are flogged into subservience. It’s atmospheric black metal
from South Dakota, an ambient trip through lush soundscapes and dense
note clusters.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>Satan and Valhalla don’t have much
currency in black metal these days. Rachel Carson, however, does. Bands
like Wolves in the Throne Room and Altar of Plagues make you feel a
longing for the things man once viewed as magical: the Earth and skies
and even the ancient gods. Woman Is the Earth offer another long-form
elegy. The winding, involved songs aren’t an impediment; you aren’t
there for a moment, but for the journey.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>Many of the better black metal bands
of the past decade-plus are those that look to their desolate
surroundings to shape their sound. With Wolves, it was the rural forests
of Oregon, which aren’t desolate, but offer isolation. AOP document a
world in peril (“Neptune Is Dead” on Mammal). Woman Is the Earth offer a
requiem and a celebration for their native South Dakota. The band takes
time to notice what’s going on: the space, the hidden wonder, the truth
inherent in the natural world. They translate that for the listener,
particularly in the opening to “Child of Sky,” which is part chant and
part prayer and all-encompassing and glorious. But there’s not any
outrage; rather, there is a sense that this band wants to document
something before it’s gone forever. – Justin M. Norton</i></div>

We’re happy to see that Depths was recently reviewed by Pitchfork.com<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i><b>Woman Is The Earth: “Crown & Bone/Dreamer”</b></i></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>To most of us, the Black Hills of South Dakota seem like wild, unexplored territory. But to the three souls behind <a href="http://www.womanistheearth.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Woman Is The Earth</a>, it’s just home, and those wide open surroundings must have informed the spacious songwriting on their latest release. The </i><i>atmospheric black-metal trio have just completed work on their third full-length, Depths, out April 1 on <a href="http://www.initrecords.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Init</a>.
It’s a gorgeous, impassioned album, and miles ahead of even their best
earlier work (like 2012’s solid This Place That Contains My Spirit,
which <a href="http://www.eisenton.de/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eisenwald</a> is
due to rerelease in April). Woman Is The Earth aren’t quite reinventing
the wheel, but they do polish it up awfully nice with post-black metal
gloss. Lush melodies shimmer and pulsate alongside cruel tremolo riffs
and ragged howls, homage is paid to both Weakling and the early days of
Wolves in the Throne Room, and the final result is pretty spellbinding.</i></div>

version of ‘This Place That Contains My Spirit’ on April 21st (Europe)
and May 6th (US). We are very humbled to have this opportunity, and for
being a low-budget recording, they have done a great job with the
remastering. The CD will be printed in purple metallic ink on black
stock, and will be sold with the Wind Wolf T-shirt and patch.<br />

<br />
Recorded in March of 2013, we’re glad to announce that ‘Depths’ will be available on CD through Init Records in late Feb. 2014. <span style="font-size: small;">Originally
slated to be self-released in the Summer of 2013, we chose to work with
Init and thus push the date back to ensure a higher quality album. Init
Records will also be distributing a vinyl pressing of ‘Depths’set for
release in the Spring/early Summer, 2014.</span><span style="font-size: small;">Once
again, ‘Depths’ was written, recorded, mixed and mastered by us in our
home, although this is a much higher quality recording than any of our
previous releases. Being only 24 minutes long, we’re very pleased with
the way it turned out and are excited to soon have it available.</span><br />
