Two heavy hitters of Portland, Oregon’s heavy music scene, Hound the Wolves and Glasghote, are teaming up to release a split EP this August. It opens with two longer and comparatively serene tracks from Hound the Wolves, followed by a duo of bone crushers from Glasghote. This contrast exemplifies the range of styles and textures that Portland’s underground scene has to offer.
The split will be available on August 2nd, 2019.
About Hound The Wolves
What started as an art project among friends has transformed into the full-blown heavy rock experience of Portland’s Hound the Wolves. Formed in 2015, Hound the Wolves pulls euphonic inspiration from the mysterious and clandestine maneuvers that occur behind the shroud of darkness. Principal songwriter Juan Carlos Caceres incorporates occultism, numerology, and sacred geometry as leitmotifs in the band’s songs, while the perseverance of man, acceptance of societal ills, and the discovery of light in darkness are written as recurring lyrical themes. These elements find themselves translated sonically through droned patterns; earthy and worldly rhythmic density; and meditative, cyclical repetition that make for a haunted psych-metal experience.
Hound The Wolves is:
- Tim Burke – lap steel, drones, soundscapes
- Juan Carlos Caceres – Guitar, vocals, words
- Cory DeCaire – Bass
- Ryan McPhaill – Drums
- Nate Wright – Moog, aux percussion

Glasghote formed in 2017 in the basement of founding members Jake Shaffer (guitar and vocals) and Jordan Huston (drums) with the addition of Chad Johnson (bass) coming just a few months later.

In one short year Glasghote signed with Doom Stew Records and released their debut full length Rite of the Siren. The band pulls influences from Thou, Primitive Man, High on Fire.
