WOLVERINE: New Album Title Revealed

February 24, 2009

Swedish metallers WOLVERINE have issued the following update:

"It has been a long time since we last updated [the band's official web site]. We want to say we are sorry about this, and we are looking to better ourselves when it comes to regular updates.

"Time flies and there are numerous things to attend to in life: full-time jobs and full-time education; family life as well as social life in general — you all know how the story goes, right?

"As you might know, we have not been very productive the past few years, and after the summer of 2008 we pretty much decided to part ways and discontinue further activities in the name of WOLVERINE. The band was no longer to be. Even though we had already begun to work with new material for a future album release, we felt that it was a pointless struggle to continue. There was simply too much conflict and too little dedication regarding WOLVERINE. And considering the positive reception 'Still' had earned in several reviews and from our dedicated fans all over the world, we felt that at least we could put an end to the band’s misery and still (!) be satisfied with what we had accomplished.

"However, we decided upon a change of direction. During the rehearsals for the upcoming gigs at ProgPower Europe 2008, we had such a good time! It was such a blast to just play together, and it felt like such a waste just to throw everything away and terminate the band. As it turns out, we agreed upon trying to make things work and make an effort to put more energy into working with WOLVERINE. Being on stage during the ProgPower festival also served as great motivation to us — playing in Baarlo, once again, was a fantastic experience! For those of you who came to the show to see us perform: thank you for being there!

"Right now we are working on the upcoming album titled 'Communication Lost'. Some of the songs have been lying around for quite some time now, and we are eager to finalize the basic structures of the material and record it as soon as we possibly can.

"We promise to provide more information as we are progressing.

"Thank you for staying with us!"

WOLVERINE's latest album, "Still", was released in the U.S. in July 2006 via Candlelight Records. The CD was recorded in part at Spacelab studio in Tönisvorst, Germany. The follow-up to 2003's "Cold Light of Monday" was produced by Oliver Philipps, Christian "Moschus" Moos and WOLVERINE and was mixed at the end of August 2005.
