Wolfbrigade announce new album ‘Howl From Underground’

WOLFBRIGADE have announced a brand new album!

The Swedish lycanthro punk veterans have revealed their new album, Howl From Underground, which is scheduled for release on October 9th via Metal Blade Records. The upcoming record follows 2024’s Life KnifeDeath.

The new album sees the band shake up their creative process by working with producer Lawrence Mackrory, whose credits include MESHUGGAH, KATATONIA, PARADISE LOST and BLOODBATH. It also marks the continued return of drummer David ‘Dadde’ Stark, who rejoined the band after previously performing with WOLFBRIGADE between 2002 and 2015.

Speaking about the recording process, the band explains, “as the songs started to fall into place, we decided to do something we hadn’t done in many years. 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.”

Discussing the band’s long-running ‘lycanthro punk’ identity, they add, “lycanthro punk has always been about that force which refuses to be tamed. The same force that runs through myth, folklore, and philosophy throughout history. The wolf is one name for it. Dionysus another. A restlessness that survives civilization.”

To coincide with the announcement, WOLFBRIGADE have also unveiled Cold War Bootlicker, the first single from the forthcoming record, alongside an accompanying music video. Speaking about the new single, the band shares, “Cold War Bootlicker is about false opposites. We divide the world into competing camps, but the machinery never changes. Two heads fighting over the same body. Every master speaks a different language of obedience.”
