WOLF... anyone?

[skeksis]

"The Black Flame" is one of the more interesting releases of 2006, in this humble opinion. It's held it's own on the Century Media US Shop Top 100 for a while, so it's got some following, and has received good critical review. Yet, if memory serves, I haven't seen Wolf brought up... opinions of the album/band, fit for PP8 or Showcase, and so on...?

i'd love it.
all their records have been really tight.
i'd love to see them at PP.
i kinda rank them in the same boat as Icarus Witch for some reason

Bingo. The reason being both singers are very similiar as well as production on both bands latest CDs.

And they are both straight ahead traditional melodic 80s metal. Right up my alley.

 

[Cheiron]

I hope not. I just can't get into it.

 

[Heavenly Call]

They were good at BWBK a few years back, but nothing I'd love to revisit.

 

[Exploding Ned]

Good solid band live, heard some whiners complain they sounded too much like early Maiden, but I didn't have a problem with them at all. They'd make a good addition to PP at some point.

I don't know anything about them, but I'll check them out. I like Icarus Witch what little I've heard of their stuff.

 

[KingsGene]

I like that tune, but don't have the album yet...how is the rest of it?

 

[panzermastery]

They are EXCELLENT love to see them tour the US !!!!!

Wolf definitely have an "oldschool" style, yet they don't sound rehashed. They are a breath of fresh air. Cool band !!

They put on a great show at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival, would love to see them again. Sonata Arctica, also recieved a great response from the crowd.

 

[EvilGrit]

All of the Wolf albums are great!

 

[skeksis]

That's cool that some of you have actually seen them. I'd love to. I'm particularly fond of the guitar work on the new album... every solo is killer.

Another song off "Black Flame," The Bite, is on their myspace page for further listening for those interested or still forming an opinion:

Wolf is an excellent band and they really came full circle with The Black Flame. Their best album to date IMO. And it's not just the guitar solos that are killer; the bass lines dance around nicely and the drummer is a maniac without being repetitive.

Black Flame has landed solidly on my top ten of 2006 list.

Wolf is a killer band. They would sure be a worthy addition to the PP-US roster.
