Speaking on the performance, the band comment: “The set list we created for this live performance at Rapture Recordings studio is meant to convey what a real, in-person Wolf King set would feel like. We recorded this performance in the same location that we recorded the majority of our The Path of Wrath album, in an attempt to capture the feeling and sound of the record while still maintaining the intimate and ruthless atmosphere of a live Wolf King show. We hope you enjoy it and we can’t wait to safely join you on the road again soon. Thank you and take care of yourselves!”

Released in March of this year, WOLF KING‘s The Path of Wrath was recorded at both Prairie Sun Recordings and Rapture Recordings in California by Cody Fuentes, with mixing and mastering handled by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden. WOLF KING‘s blackened metal sound is captured at it’s most captivatingly unrestrained on their sophomore full length – for an uncompromising, filth-drenched, smoke-infused take on the genre, The Path of Wrath delivers the goods and then some.

WOLF KING have released the third single, Holy Serpent, taken from their upcoming album, The Path of Wrath. Marking their return late last year, the Bay Area four-piece’s blend of blackened metal and punk attitude is as potent as ever on their latest single.

Holy Serpent is available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. 

The Path of Wrath is due for release via Prosthetic Records on March 5.

Of the new single, the band comment, “Holy Serpent is about the manipulation and greed of religion. How they have caused wars and feed lies to the weak minded for their own profit.”

On the live in studio video, the band adds, “We did the video at Rapture Recordings to capture the live sound and energy that this track deserves. This song is easily one of our most anticipated from the album, and we can’t wait to play live. It’s groovy, packed with riffs, and is energetic from start to finish.”

Recorded at both Prairie Sun Recordings and Rapture Recordings in California by Cody Fuentes, with mixing and mastering handled by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden, WOLF KING‘s blackened metal sound is captured at it’s most captivatingly unrestrained on The Path of Wrath.

WOLF KING are back with a new album, titled The Path of Wrath. The follow up to their blistering 2018 release, Loyal To The Soil, confirms the Bay Area blackened heavy metal band have lost none of their bite. The Path of Wrath is a well crafted twelve track opus, set for release via Prosthetic Records on March 5, 2021. The band have today released the album’s lead single, Sanctuary, on streaming services as well as premiering an accompanying music video via Decibel Magazine. Filmed by Vance Valenzuela during their March, 2020 tour with Vale of Pnath.

WATCH THE VIDEO FOR SANCTUARY VIA DECIBEL MAGAZINE HERE.

Of the album and new single the band comment, “The Path of Wrath tells of a collective journey through the turmoils and tribulations of life. Filmed during our last tour in March with Vale of Pnath, Sanctuary takes on the perspective of realizing that the only way to escape this wretched world is through death’s cold hands. We’re born without choice, forced to endure suffering, and find clarity through lifelessness.”

The Path of Wrath tells real life tales of existential struggles and explorations of life and death. This abrasive take on mortality and the afterlife traverses themes of judgement, salvation, and looking ‘beyond the veil’. As they pick over the weight of sin and uncover the burdens of both damnation and forgiveness, ripples of pure darkness infiltrate every crevice of the album.

The band’s sound is captured in its most natural and unrestrained form, thanks to recording by Cody Guentes at both Prairie Sun Recordings and Rapture Recordings in California, with mixing and mastering was handled by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden, rounding out a full and rich sounding album perfectly.

Few do blackened heavy metal better than WOLF KING. For an uncompromising, filth-drenched, smoke-infused take on the genre, The Path of Wrath delivers the goods and then some.

The Path of Wrath by WOLF KING will be released via Prosthetic Records on March 5, 2021.

Available to pre-order here.
