Wolves In The Throne Room - Diadem of 12 Stars is a huge Weakling ripoff.

That could mean one of two things:
-It's great
-It's shit

Which is it?

 

[Tholus24]

More like Agalloch, but I recommend Saros.

EDIT: Particularly their album Acrid Plains.

I think it's shit, but I also think Weakling is shit.

"Diadem for 12 Stars" is not a Weakling ripoff. They are an obvious influence, but they are also influenced by early Opeth, Burzum etc. In general its a much more reflective, "spiritual" album than "Dead as Dreams". Check it out.

In general, I hear Weakling influence all over the US BM scene. Deafheaven come to mind immediately.

Also check out Dispirit, John Gossard's new blackend doom band if you haven't already.

Oh, and for Agalloch- Wolves in the Throne Room (again), Drudkh, Altar of Plagues, Dornenreich, Empyrium and Fen (though honestly I think Fen are boring as fuck- a lot of Agalloch fans like them).

yeah listen to Dispirit NOW, possibly even better than Weakling



^ unfortunately this misses out the killer bit at the end but it should be enough to convince you

That band sounds a hell of lot more like Xasthur than Weakling, which means that they are inferior to Weakling.

I love how opinions often seem to get misconstrued as facts here.

[Tholus24]

Yep, that's the face I made when I saw the album that is your icon.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Cool.
