Written By Wolves announce debut album ‘Secrets’

WRITTEN BY WOLVES have announced their debut album!

Titled Secrets, the upcoming album from the New Zealand rockers is their debut effort and is scheduled to be released in November this year.

The upcoming album was recorded at Big Pop Studios in Auckland, New Zealand, produced by the band, co-produced and mixed by Thomas Oliver, co-produced and engineered by Rich Bryan, and mastered by Mike Gibson at Munki Studios. The 13-track debut album is full of thoughts and feelings that people don’t usually feel comfortable talking about.

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for the title-track of the upcoming album. The new music video was first premiered via Dead Press. Speaking about the song, vocalist Michael Murphy says it’s “a realisation that we are all hiding how we feel and putting on a public face – smiling on the outside while bottling up the deep shit to such an extent that issues such as mental health and suicide are near epidemic status. It’s about understanding that we are not alone in feeling this way and that it is time to change societal norms and open up about how we feel – to put more emphasis on talking to each other about things that really matter rather than how amazing we can make our lives look online.”

The accompanying dark and twisted music video Murphy says is “definitely the darkest we have gone with a video so far. When I was writing the vocals for this track it conjured up some pretty intense imagery in my mind and the whole band were really keen to try and convey the intensity of the song within the music video. When we mentioned a few of our ideas to Josh Mabie (Director of the Secrets music video) he got super excited and came back with this incredible, dark, twisted treatment that we immediately agreed to and just let him run with.”

Secrets is set for release on November 8th via Tenfold Records.
