Slate has an interesting write up of Wolves in the Throne Room, an American black metal band who bury a radical ecological message under atmospheric metal gloom. If I had to describe the band, I'd say they've got one foot in God Speed You Black Emperor territory, the other foot is squarely set in Norway. They're on the Southern Lord record label -- home to Boris, one of my recent faves.
And yeah, a small part of the band's appeal for me, is that their name sounds like an event card from the A Game of Thrones CCG -- maybe a Stark-only kill-a-king card?
