I find Wolverine to be much like Parallels/Inside Out era Fates Warning with some death metal elements... receive very well by people who are into 'prog metal' but I haven't heard reactions from people more into extreme things... I thought their EP Fervent Dream was excellent, and the new album's pretty good from what I can tell (I have a rough mix version, or pre-mastered, or whatever the hell this thing is, point is it's not the final version and the sound quality stinks so I've been waiting for the real version so I don't have to strain, heh)... people like Pain of Salvation and Dan Swanö are high on them as well...
