WOLF: 'Ravenous' Artwork Unveiled

January 12, 2009

The cover artwork for "Ravenous", the new album from Swedish metallers WOLF, can be viewed below. The CD features a guest guitar solo by Hank Shermann (FORCE OF EVIL, MERCYFUL FATE) and guest vocals by Mark Boals (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ROYAL HUNT).

For the fierce and bloody artwork, the band once again decided to work with its longtime cover artist Thomas Holm (MERCYFUL FATE).

"He has the ability to 'paint our music' and that's something we're not gonna pass up on," WOLF explained.

Topped off by the phenomenal production by Roy Z (BRUCE DICKINSON, JUDAS PRIEST),"Ravenous" promises a heavy metal delicacy par excellence!

WOLF recently filmed a video for the song "Voodoo" in Umeå, Sweden with director Owe Lingwall of Village Road Film. WOLF previously worked with Lingwall on the clip for the track "I Will Kill Again", which can be viewed below.

"Ravenous" will be released on the following dates:

Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Italy: Friday, February 20
Spain, Portugal: Tuesday, February 24
Sweden, Finland, Hungary: Wednesday, February 25
Rest Of Europe: Monday, February 23
USA: Tuesday, March 24

A new WOLF song, "Curse You Salem", is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

According to the group, "'Curse You Salem' is a genuine WOLF song. We think it's got all the elements our listeners demand from us and we're certain our fans will listen to it and go, 'Hell yes, that's WOLF!' We felt that while writing it, and bringing it to life while recording it was a blast. It will most certainly be included in our live set. The song deals with the witch hunts that took place in Salem, Massachusetts somewhat 300 years ago and the lyrics are written according to actual events as well as real people connected to the events that took place. This song and topic fits WOLF like a spiked wristband on Kerry King!"
