Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

After releasing their celebrated “Dear Monsters” album almost a year ago to the day, multi-platinum rockers BAD WOLVES have just unleashed a special digital deluxe version of the album today via Better Noise Music. The original version of “Dear Monsters” dropped on October 29th, 2021, quickly becoming a fan-favorite. In a year’s time, Bad Wolves’ Dear Monsters has accumulated 47 million streams and a combined 5 million video views. This new digital deluxe edition also features all of the music included on the If Tomorrow Never Comes and Sacred Kiss EPs, giving fans the chance to enjoy tracks like “If Tomorrow Never Comes (ft. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills),” “The Body,” “Sacred Kiss (ft. Aaron Pauley from Of Mice & Men),” “Up In Smoke,” and “I Don’t Wanna Feel” all in one place. Bad Wolves also surprised fans on October 14 when they dropped a music video for their brand new cover-version of Ozzy Osbourne’s iconic track “Mama I’m Coming Home,” which amassed 75K views in its first weekend on YouTube. Download and stream Dear Monsters Digital Deluxe Version HERE. Watch “Mama, I’m Coming Home” HERE.

Drummer John Boecklin reflected on why the band is releasing a deluxe album, stating, “With so many different versions of songs and unreleased material from the Dear Monsters sessions we decided to release a deluxe version with everything in one spot. “I Don’t Want To Feel” was the first song DL brought to the band, and has a special place in our hearts. “Wildfire” is an orchestral version and is a darker side of our original. Lots more to unpack here so have at it!”

The band is currently touring Europe and the UK until December 14th with Volbeat and Skindred, performing in cities such as Hamburg, Copenhagen, Paris, Cologne, Barcelona, Milan, and London. European and UK fans can get the latest tour and ticket information HERE.

ABOUT BAD WOLVES

Expectations never mattered to Bad Wolves. Instead, the Los Angeles band fused unpredictable metallic intensity and impressive instrumental proficiency to arena-ready hooks, transforming from underdogs into elite platinum-certified hard rock contenders without compromise or apology. Since 2017, the core group—John Boecklin [drums], Doc Coyle [lead guitar, backing vocals], Chris Cain [rhythm guitar], and Kyle Konkiel [bass, backing vocals]—have consistently subverted expectations and accomplished the seemingly impossible. In 2018, the band earned a platinum plaque, topped iTunes, and ruled Active Rock at #1 for three weeks straight. This momentum also propelled their debut album, Disobey, to a Top 25 debut on the Billboard Top 200. In between performing to sold out audiences on multiple continents with heavyweights such as Five Finger Death Punch and Megadeth, 2019’s N.A.T.I.O.N. yielded their fifth straight #1 at Active Rock, “Sober,” and brought their total stream tally past the half-billion mark—unprecedented for a modern rock band. Not to mention, LoudWire hailed it among the “50 Best Rock Albums of 2019” as Billboard and Consequence of Sound chronicled their rise. In the midst of 2021, Bad Wolves welcomed Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz—previously of The Acacia Strain—as lead vocalist, ushering in a new chapter with their third full-length offering, Dear Monsters, [Better Noise Music], led by the single “Lifeline.”
