Wolfbrigade - Howl From Underground (LP, Coloured vinyl, Silver)

Facts With the amps still warm from 2024's coruscating comeback Life Knife Death, veteran Swedish punk-metal masters Wolfbrigade strike back like a wounded cobra with their loudest, fullest, thickest-sounding record yet. And that's no happy accident. On their twelfth LP (the first three released under the Wolfpack monicker, 1996-99), the quintet concertedly resolved to shake up their habitual processes and interrogate their customary methodology. As the songs started to fall into place, we decided to do something we hadn't done in many years, explains the band. For the last decade we've recorded, produced and mixed our albums ourselves. This time we wanted to work with someone from outside the band whose work we respect and who we felt would understand what Wolfbrigade is about.
