10/06/25 | [dcraley]Wolfbrigade Celebrates 30th Anniversary With Two Digital Releases
Formed in 1995, Swedish hardcore punk legends WOLFBRIGADE are celebrating thirty years as a band by delivering Hostile Wasteland, an EP originally recorded in 2000 in the legendary Sunlight Studios. In addition, they unleashed Kill To Live, a live album of classic tracks, recorded in 2025 in the band’s own Wolfden Studio. Both Hostile Wasteland and Kill To Live are available now digitally at metalblade.com/wolfbrigade.
The band comments, “Over the years we have talked about releasing the last recording we did under the name Wolfpack to present it the way it was originally intended. Until now, it has remained more or less buried, only surfacing as bonus tracks on a few limited releases. As we celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary, we went through our archives and unearthed a stack of old DAT tapes which we transferred to digital. Among them we found this raw mix that sounded great. Bloodfilled and savage. And it felt like the right moment to finally give it a proper release.
“When we started out, we were five guys from different punk and metal bands who came together. The fusion of d-beat, punk, and death metal came naturally. That this hybrid beast is still alive three decades later feels insane. And at the same time inevitable. The band has burned itself into our DNA. Over the years some songs turned into staples in our live sets, others never really came out the way we wanted on the recordings, some changed shape with time, some we almost forgot. When we finally had proper recording possibilities in our rehearsal space, our guitarist Jocke Rydbjer’s own Wolfden Studio, we thought: ‘Why not give these songs another chance? Record them live, document how we actually sound as one. Five friends in a room. Nothing polished. Nothing dressed. Just naked to the bare arse.’ This is Lycanthro Punk 2025. Since 1995.”
