WOLF was originally formed in Sweden back in 1995 and belongs to the earliest bands resurrecting and rejuvenating the traditional heavy metal sound during the 90’s, when the genre was considered pretty much dead. Inspired by their heroes, the classic heavy metal bands from the seventies and eighties, WOLF laid down the groundwork for what became a triumphant return of the genre in the following years. Over the course of their nine albums the band is seen by many as the originators of the new wave of traditional heavy metal. The tenth album “Hour of the Wolf” (November 2026) is an uncompromising release that keeps true to the band’s roots, as well as expanding the sound of classic heavy metal. WOLF has never tried to sound retro, nor modern, and has proven time and time again that they follow no trends. They just stick to their vision of what heavy metal should be.
