Wolfbrigade announce new album ‘Life Knife Death’

WOLFBRIGADE have announced a new album!

Titled Life Knife Death, the upcoming album from the veteran Swedish hardcore punk band is the follow-up to 2019’s The Enemy: Reality, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Metal Blade Records.

In a 2019 Bandcamp interview to promote their last record, bassist Johan Erkenvåg observed that, “the political climate in the world these past few years has been the worst that we’ve ever experienced in our lifetimes.” After half a decade of war, pestilence, catastrophe, and terror, it’s as if the world heard Erkenvåg‘s assertion and said, “hold my beer.” Mounting global chaos may have us all darkly fearing the end times, but it has also seemingly created the ideal circumstances for a hardcore punk band’s upcoming album.

“Well yeah, who could’ve known! The five years that have passed since our last album have served as a pretty good backdrop for a new punk record or misanthropy in general,” affirms the band, adding a wry reference for the Bill Hicks fans, “Mankind – a virus with shoes. As always, our lyrics are fueled by the ever-growing disgust we feel about humanity. The everyday realization that we are a part of this fear-animalistic stupidity that drives the world further into oblivion. The inspiration just keeps raining down from the sky, killing the masses. Waking up to this every day makes us want to scream in horror.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; Disarm Or Be Destroyed. Speaking about the new song, the band says, “this is a song about the ugliness of desire and the beauty of destruction. The urge to burn and destroy is also an urge to create and evolve. Right or wrong, there’s pleasure in smashing some things into pieces.”
