WOLF Parts Ways With Drummer, Prepares To Record Cover Tune
February 6, 2008Swedish metallers WOLF have issued the following update:
"Writing for the new album is well on the way and we're wrapping up the final things for a summer recording. We'll give you more details as things move along.
"On February 22-24, we'll be recording a cover tune in Toyas Studio Seven in Örebro, Sweden for a special release by Century Media Records and the song we've taken on might not be the most obvious choice for a working-class heavy metal band like WOLF, but rest assured, we're very excited and very proud to get a chance to record this song. Which one it is — we cannot reveal at the time, but we will do so soon.
"As many of you've seen when watching us onstage lately is that Tobias 'Hammershark' Kellgren is not with us anymore. It was a mutual decision taken way back in august that Hammershark was to leave due to lack of time to tour and personal issues, and we can't let that hold us back. But as you might have noticed, we haven't exactly been sitting around doing nothing. Nope, we've borrowed IN SOLITUDE drummer Uno 'Piranha' Bruniusson as live/session drummer for shows and upcoming February recording. We will wait with announcing a permanent drummer so we're not making any speedy decisions to jeopardize WOLF's or Uno's future carriers.
"We're hard at work, harder than ever, and we goddamn love it! The wolf is loose and was last seen heading your way."
Video footage of WOLF performing the song "I Will Kill Again" on November 23, 2007 at the Uppsala Thrashfest in Uppsala, Sweden with drummer Uno "Piranha" Bruniusson can be viewed below.
WOLF recently posted its cover of IRON MAIDEN's "Déjà Vu" on the band's MySpace page. The song was featured on the "Tribute to the Beast Vol. 2" compilation, which came out in 2003 on Nuclear Blast Records, and on the vinyl version of WOLF's "Evil Star".
