Wold is an enigmatic and experimental musical project that originates from Canada, primarily driven by the vision of its core member, Fortress Crookedjaw. Wold began forging its unique brand of black metal and noise music into the underground scene in the early 2000s. The project is revered for its avant-garde fusion of harsh, distorted soundscapes and a raw black metal aesthetic, creating a chilling and often disorienting auditory experience.
Wold's discography is marked by themes of contemporary malaise, occultism, and dystopian visions, with releases such as "Working Together For Our Privacy," "Postsocial," "Freermasonry," and "Badb" further cementing their reputation as purveyors of unconventional and boundary-pushing music. Each album presents a beautifully abrasive and lo-fi approach to production, which has become a signature element of Wold's sound. "Working Together For Our Privacy" and "Postsocial" represent a continuity in their conceptual narrative, exploring the collapsing structures of social relations and privacy in the modern world, while "Freermasonry" delves into esoteric and ceremonial themes, and "Badb" draws inspiration from mythology, adding another layer to Wold's richly woven sonic tapestry. The project's elusive nature, coupled with its commitment to the fringes of black metal, makes Wold a compelling subject for aficionados of extreme music seeking an experience that challenges the limits of genre and form.
