WOLFSBANE Guitarist Issues New Album Update
October 5, 2011Reunited U.K. rockers WOLFSBANE featuring former IRON MAIDEN frontman Blaze Bayley recently finished recording their new CD for a tentative late 2011/early 2012 release.
Commented guitarist Jase Edwards: "You can never really tell what a record is gonna be like 'til it's all recorded and you have some decent mixes to listen to. So you can hear what the record will actually sound like and how well (or not) ya've done!!
"Happy to report my mood on doing just that with the new WOLFSBANE record is one of ecstasy and excitement!! It's also being a little darling to mix!
"If ya have the right parts and sounds tracked, then it's just a balance and sonic power injection job!! And rest assured WOLFSBANE will be pushing the limiters to the maxxx!"
WOLFSBANE which features Bayley, Jase Edwards, bassist Jeff Hateley and drummer Steve Danger released its first record in 17 years in April. Entitled "Did It For The Money", it contained the brand new title track along with re-recordings of four old WOLFSBANE numbers.
Commenting on the reunion, Blaze said, "Although we have done other things over the years, we always had WOLFSBANE in our hearts and following our tour with THE QUIREBOYS last year, we had so much fun and have had so much interest that we decided to get back in the studio."
Formed in 1984 in Tamworth, England, WOLFSBANE signed to Def American Records, and Rick Rubin produced the band's first album, "Live Fast, Die Fast", released in 1989. WOLFSBANE's second release, an EP titled "All Hell's Breaking Loose Down", followed in 1990. The band's second studio album, "Down Fall the Good Guys", was released in 1991, giving WOLFSBANE its only U.K. chart entry, with the single "Ezy" landing at No. 68.
After Def American dropped WOLFSBANE, the band released a live album, "Massive Noise Injection", through the Bronze label in 1993. The group's third studio album, the self-titled "Wolfsbane", followed in 1994.
On September 9, 2007, WOLFSBANE reformed for a one-off short set at the Rock of Ages festival in Tamworth. This was followed by their first U.K. tour in 13 years, with the band playing five dates as support for the THE WILDHEARTS in December 2007. Their next tour came in December 2009 supporting THE QUIREBOYS on the aforementioned "A Little Bit of What You Fancy 20th Anniversary Tour".
