Wanikiya Record/Promotion is proud to officially announce the release of MAGIC MADNESS SADNESS, the new, visionary work by Waxwolf – a project that has already captured attention for its experimental and revolutionary approach within the contemporary instrumental scene.

After introducing us to his universe with the single “Attractive Forces” (released on August 1st), Waxwolf returns with a complete work: five instrumental tracks that defy every convention, a sonic journey blending Death Metal, Progressive Rock, Fusion, Chiptune, and Electronic music—always with a personal, instinctive, and uncompromising touch. MAGIC MADNESS SADNESS is not just an album, but a true sensory experience.

From the crushing riffs reminiscent of Cynic and Unexpect to the daring use of MIDI guitars intertwined with ‘90s chiptune atmospheres, Waxwolf forges a unique musical language: emotional, experimental, and deeply authentic.

Joining this journey:
— Hannes Grossmann (drums, sound engineer, arranger)
— Linus Klausenitzer (bass)

Two pillars of the international scene who add strength and depth to an already unclassifiable work.

The project’s visual imagery is entrusted to the vision of Helvetica Blanc, the artist behind the artwork, who will continue to accompany Waxwolf in the next steps of this artistic path.

MAGIC MADNESS SADNESS is now available on all major digital platforms.
Let yourself be carried away into a world where magic, madness, and sadness intertwine in a soundtrack unlike anything you’ve ever heard before.

Listen now to “MAGIC MADNESS SADNESS” and live the Waxwolf experience.

Listen to “Attractive Forces”: Magic Madness Sadness | Waxwolf

“Attractive Forces” is a deeply emotional and stylistic journey—a sonic time capsule filled with memories and personal reflections. Influenced by bands like Unexpect and Cynic, the track features MIDI guitars instead of real instruments and a central section that pays tribute to ’90s platform video game soundtracks, rich with fusion and electronic colors.

Waxwolf’s artistic vision is supported by two world-renowned musicians: Hannes Grossmann on drums (also serving as arranger and sound engineer) and Linus Klausenitzer on bass.
The artwork is curated by the visionary artist Helvetica Blanc.

This single is a first taste of the upcoming EP “Magic Madness Sadness”, which will feature five instrumental tracks exploring uncharted sonic and conceptual territories.

Wanikiya Record/Promotion is proud to announce the addition of WAXWOLF to its roster – one of the most visionary and experimental acts in today’s instrumental scene. Marking this new artistic partnership is the upcoming release of the single “Attractive Forces”, scheduled for August 1st, 2025.

THE SINGLE – “Attractive Forces”
Attractive Forces is an emotional and stylistic journey rooted in a specific moment in the artist’s life — a true time capsule made of sounds, memories, and emotions.
The track blends influences from bands like Unexpect and Cynic, especially in the riffs and chorus, with a unique central section: MIDI guitars mixed with chiptune sounds, paying homage to the platform video game music of the ‘90s, infused with fusion and electronic colors.

A bold and conscious stylistic choice is the use of synthetic guitars instead of real instruments, challenging the conventions of traditional metal, which often focuses on technical athleticism. The goal is not to showcase skill, but to craft a sound aesthetic aligned with Waxwolf’s artistic identity: free, personal, and uncompromising.

THE PROJECT – WAXWOLF
Waxwolf was born as a creative vessel open to the most extreme and unexpected contaminations, capable of merging Death Metal, Progressive Rock, Fusion, Chiptune, and electronic music with a completely personal approach.

The project is driven by a deep and experimental musical vision and an instinctive compositional method: no revisions, no compromises, first take is the final one. Each track thus becomes a pure and authentic fragment of the moment it was written.

From a production and sound standpoint, Waxwolf is supported by Hannes Grossmann on drums (also acting as sound engineer and arranger) and Linus Klausenitzer on bass — two prominent names from the international metal scene who also contributed to the upcoming EP Magic Madness Sadness.

The single and EP artwork has been created by Helvetica Blanc, an artist who will continue to collaborate with Waxwolf on future releases.

COMING SOON – MAGIC MADNESS SADNESS
Magic Madness Sadness will feature five instrumental tracks exploring unique sonic and conceptual territories, blending analog instruments, MIDI sections, and experimental soundscapes beyond traditional boundaries.

With Attractive Forces, Waxwolf gives us a first taste of what’s to come: an intense, profound, and unclassifiable work.
