Revival & Doomstar presents:
WOLFBRIGADE - SWE
Formed in 1995 in the small Swedish city of Mariestad by key players from Sweden's legendary hardcore scene, Wolfbrigade (known as Wolfpack until 1999) remain among Scandinavia's most respected, influential and reliable purveyors of real-world brute-force hullabaloo. On this eleventh album, the niftiest skills honed to a fine edge over 30 years are dispatched with greater style and intensity than ever. Most immediately, there's the sheer velocity and barely-controlled rage pumping through dynamic d-beaten blood-shakers like Ways To Die and Your God Is A Corpse, the furious attack assisted to heart-fluttering greatness by a newly loosened sense of raucous spontaneity. "We didn’t really rehearse any of the songs on this album," the band reveals. "We tend to overwork and overanalyze everything that we do, and sometimes we get lost in that process. This time we wanted to go rough, to capture the raw essence of the song when it’s just out of the womb. All the blood and gore."
Wolfbrigade's penchant for focused self-reflection aided them most satisfyingly in the arrangement and sequencing of these twelve killer tunes: "As an overanalyzing band, we put a lot of effort into shaping the dynamics of an album. From combining the intros and outros, tempos and what key the songs are in. We are several songwriters in the band and we all listen to different music. So the material that is brought to the table has a great variety. Then the lycanthro machinery sputters to life."
The subtle shades of melody and versatility throughout Life Knife Death represent another of Wolfbrigade's strongest suits, the songs progressing with an organic, complementary flow, from the epic guitar heroics opening Unruled And Unnamed to the spooky churning outro The Age Of Skull Fuckery, based on a slowed-down riff from the aforementioned song - "Just an old demo idea we made to memorize the melody, played slow for clarity," the band explains. "It has an eerie quality that we liked, so we just threw it in."
The band's disparate influences are drawn together with unifying solidity - the remorseless rhythms of Discharge, the blue-collar rock'n'roll of Motörhead, the heads-down bludgeon of classic Entombed - even the Beatles get a look in, albeit in subverted form, with the splendid title A Day In The Life Of An Arse. "I just thought of that song title, which is genius on its own, and 'Of An Arse' just popped into my head. Beatles churned through the Wolfbrigade mill, the horror of waking up to another day, playing your part in the never ending shitscene of mankind."
Turns out the Beatles' ethos isn't too far from Wolfbrigade's, the quintet defining their main driving force as "the eternal quest for the ultimate song. We constantly explore the space we can create for progression within our pretty slim framework. Even though our personal tastes are very eclectic, we want to stay true to the Wolfbrigade core, but at the same time apply as much pressure as we can to push it further. We’ll mix any influences that we please. War on rules. That has been the concept since the very start of Wolfpack."
SWORDWIELDER - SWE
Gothenburgs dirtiest crust infused punk served on a platter of freshly mutilated beats. The citys very own SWORDWIELDER has crushed the underground scene ever since their inception and If they don’t pierce your armor, nothing will.
Prepare for a sonic blade through your head!
WARHAWK - SWE
Warhawk is a bunch of morons from the swedish west coast who worship the crackling sound of screaming old marshall amps. In a world that is falling apart, a filthy soundtrack to the misery is needed.
