Shaped in 1995 within the small Swedish metropolis of Mariestad by key gamers from Sweden’s legendary hardcore scene, WOLFBRIGADE (referred to as Wolfpack till 1999) stays amongst Scandinavia’s most revered, influential and dependable purveyors of real-world, brute-force, political hardcore punk.
The band’s disparate influences are drawn along with unifying solidity – the remorseless rhythms of Discharge, the blue-collar rock ‘n’ roll of Motörhead, the heads-down bludgeon of traditional Entombed. The quintet defines their fundamental driving pressure as “the everlasting quest for the final word music. We always discover the area we are able to create for development inside our fairly slim framework. Though our preferences are very eclectic, we wish to keep true to the WOLFBRIGADE core, however on the similar time apply as a lot strain as we are able to to push it additional. We’ll combine any influences that we please. Conflict on guidelines. That has been the idea for the reason that very begin of Wolfpack.”
In celebration of their thirtieth anniversary, WOLFBRIGADE delivers Hostile Wasteland, an EP with a ferocious uncooked combine initially recorded in 2000 on the legendary Daylight Studios, whereas they nonetheless went below the identify Wolfpack. As well as, they unleash Kill to Dwell, an album of particular stay renditions of traditional tracks, recorded in 2025 within the band’s personal Wolfden Studio.
The band feedback, “Over time we’ve got talked about releasing the final recording we did below the identify Wolfpack to current it the way in which it was initially meant. Till now, it has remained kind of buried, solely surfacing as bonus tracks on just a few restricted releases. As we have a good time the band’s thirtieth anniversary, we went by our archives and unearthed a stack of outdated DAT tapes which we transferred to digital. Amongst them we discovered this uncooked combine that sounded nice. Bloodfilled and savage. And it felt like the correct second to lastly give it a correct launch.
“Once we began out, we had been 5 guys from totally different punk and metallic bands who got here collectively. The fusion of d-beat, punk, and demise metallic got here naturally. That this hybrid beast continues to be alive three many years later feels insane. And on the similar time inevitable. The band has burned itself into our DNA. Over time some songs became staples in our stay units, others by no means actually got here out the way in which we wished on the recordings, some modified form with time, some we virtually forgot. Once we lastly had correct recording potentialities in our rehearsal area, our guitarist Jocke Rydbjer’s personal Wolfden Studio, we thought: ‘Why not give these songs one other likelihood? Report them stay, doc how we really sound as one. 5 buddies in a room. Nothing polished. Nothing dressed. Simply bare to the naked arse.’ That is Lycanthro Punk 2025. Since 1995.”
