Swedish Heavy Metal masters WOLF announce their return with a new studio album entitled ‘Shadowland’! The album is set to be released through Century Media on April 1st, 2022!
It is their 9th studio effort and the follow up to the 2020 release “Feeding The Machine”.
Niklas Stalvind (vocals / guitar) checks in on the new album:
“So, we are finally at the point when the new WOLF album is recorded, mixed and mastered. It is done! For obvious reasons we haven’t toured since the release of ‘Feeding The Machine’, which meant we could put all our time and efforts on putting a new album together and so we have. And let me tell you that we are super stoked about it! Speaking for myself, the sound reminds me of an updated version of the ‘Evil Star’ album with that in-your-face clarity and the songs reminds me of the melodic, yet sinister, ‘The Black Flame’ album, and at the same time I hear something new as well. I’m sure fans of all eras of WOLF will find something they like in this album. We can’t wait to hear the audience reaction to it next time we play live again. Metal never dies!”

The band posted the following statement:
“In mid-March we were forced to cut our European tour short due to the outbreak of the Corona pandemic.
Now our fingers are seriously itching to play again and we especially miss playing live for you all! As a little treat to ourselves and to all you guys we decided to record an old Wolf classic that we were planning on bringing back in to the live set.
Each one recording in his own studio and set up a camera while doing it.
So here ladies and gentlemen, is ‘Evil Star – The 2020 social isolation edition’.
Enjoy!”
