Wolf – Announce Deal with Century Media Records!
Sweden’s ‘working class’ heavy metallers, WOLF, have inked a deal with Century Media Records. In their own words: “WOLF is a hardworking Heavy metal band. Century Media records is a hardworking heavy metal label. See the connection? We’re very proud to announce that we’re releasing the next WOLF album on Century Media. We’re confident that we’re getting the support we need and we’re also confident that the next WOLF album will eat you up and spit you out. Cheers to all supporters of heavy metal, see ya down the pub.”
Century Media, the band’s new home, had this to day:
“We are very proud to have a new band in our artist roster that kicks ass in an old school way without being old fashioned – because real METAL never dies! So let’s howl with the Wolves!”
WOLF was formed 1995 by Niklas A Olsson (vocals, lead guitar) and Mikael Goding (bass). Some demos later, in 1997, Daniel ‘Dale’ Bergkvist (drums) joined the band and completed the core line-up that recorded the first three albums: “Wolf” (2000), “Black Wings” (2002) & “Evil Star” (2004) – all of them recorded & produced in the Abyss studio by Peter Taegtgren. In mid 2002 Johannes ‘Axeman’ Losbaeck filled in as a permanent second guitarist and brought three years later his old DECAMERON/SEVENTH ONE buddy Tobias R. Kjellgren into the band (who also played with the infamous DISSECTION and helped out IN FLAMES on their 2005 US tour). Dale was leaving the band due to private reasons but he’s still helping out behind the scenes.
All of WOLF’s albums received overwhelming reviews from worldwide metal-media and the WOLF-pack destroyed stages at Sweden Rock, Wacken, Gates Of Metal and last years Rock Hard Festival. They toured with Edguy and Saxon, and they are ready to unleash their fourth album in mid 2006. Most likely the unholy mix of IRON MAIDEN meets MERCYFUL FATE meets super sized balls will be recorded by Peter Taegtgren again. Expect nothing else than blood, sweat and beers.
