Shaped in 1995 within the small Swedish metropolis of Mariestad by key gamers from Sweden’s legendary hardcore scene, WOLFBRIGADE (often known 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 essential driving power as “the everlasting quest for the last word track. We continuously discover the area we will create for development inside our fairly slim framework. Although our preferences are very eclectic, we need to keep true to the WOLFBRIGADE core, however on the identical time apply as a lot strain as we will to push it additional. We’ll combine any influences that we please. Warfare 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 underneath the title Wolfpack. As well as, they unleash Kill to Dwell, an album of particular dwell renditions of traditional tracks, recorded in 2025 within the band’s personal Wolfden Studio.
The band feedback, “Through the years we’ve got talked about releasing the final recording we did underneath the title Wolfpack to current it the way in which it was initially meant. Till now, it has remained roughly buried, solely surfacing as bonus tracks on a couple of restricted releases. As we have a good time the band’s thirtieth anniversary, we went by means of our archives and unearthed a stack of outdated DAT tapes which we transferred to digital.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 best second to lastly give it a correct launch.
“After we began out, we had been 5 guys from totally different punk and steel bands who got here collectively. The fusion of d-beat, punk, and loss of life steel got here naturally. That this hybrid beast remains to be alive three many years later feels insane. And on the identical time inevitable. The band has burned itself into our DNA. Through the years some songs was staples in our dwell units, others by no means actually got here out the way in which we needed on the recordings, some modified form with time, some we virtually forgot. After 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? File them dwell, doc how we truly 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.”
