American black metal overlords, Wolves In The Throne Room, are pleased to reveal that they will be participating in Fortress Festival UK's inaugural Fortress Forum, an emerging metal conference that offers a unique, in-person opportunity for festival attendees to hear artists talk about their careers and experiences. During WitTR's appearance at the festival on June 2, they will not only be performing the entirety of Two Hunters during an exclusive UK ritual, but founding member/multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Cedar Serpent will also now be taking the stage for a live interview with the imitable Jackie Smit of the Into the Necrosphere podcast.

The live talk will take place at 5:40 PM on June 2 in a 300-capacity theatre room at Scarborough Spa and is available only for Fortress Festival ticket holders. The final 100 tickets are available here

Wolves In The Throne Room's Cedar Serpent joins an elite group of black metal artists and journalists; other forum interview participants include Tom G Warrior (Triptykon, Celtic Frost), Dayal Patterson (Cult Never Dies), Ralph Schmidt (Ultha), The Watcher (Fen, Fellwarden), Der Weg Einer Freiheit and Gaerea. More information on Fortress Festival, including the lineup and Fortress Forum, can be found here.
