WOLF - New Album Details

By jason

News from Sweden's WOLF. The title of the new album is "The Black Flame" and the recording process is nearly finished. After several weeks at Studio Fredman with producer Fredrik Nordstr?m (Dream Evil, Hammerfall, In Flames) WOLF are ready to unleash their new album in late September: "Think old-school metal without being old-fashioned. It's heavy as hell and will hit you like a ton of bricks. It has a horror vibe to it that won't let you be, and it could be a soundtrack to old Eighties horror movies. Oh yes, it contains a lot of heavy metal too... A LOT!"

Check out the Studio Diary of a Madman by Mikael Goding aka Tormentor on www.wolf.nu.

The follow-up to 2004's "Evil Star" will be the first album to feature new drummer Tobias R. Kellgren and long-time session/live guitarist Johannes Losbaeck alongside founding members Niklas Stålvind (vocals, lead guitar) and Mikael Goding (bass).

The cover artwork will be done by legendary artists Thomas Holm (Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, WOLF's "Black Wings"). WOLF: "You can all expect a cover that matches the eerie sound of the new album 100%. No swords and dragons and shit. Just pure metal terror."

You can pre-listen to "The Black Flame" at the Century Media booth on the German Wacken Festival August 3rd - 5th, 2006, where you can also get a free WOLF patch ironed on your

jeans-vest. Don't hesitate, as only a limited amount of patches will be available. We will take a picture of you and your jeans-vest that gives you access to an online competition in September to win more WOLF devotionals.
