New Video for single ‘Mens Rea (Izaguf)’
Genre: Crust
Press Release:
| Of Wolves are a raw and heavy blend of Punk and Metal from Stoner Sludge to Hardcore and Post Punk. This devastatingly intense form of Crust is what these guys like to call therapy. With a straightforward approach, the songs deal with stress, disillusionment, social injustice, anger, politics and religion. Their songs and sound are directly in touch with the world as it is today and are a direct emotional response to life’s experiences. From Steve Sherwood (vocalist/guitarist): Balance has been a huge undertaking and a long time coming. The album is a culmination of jams that turned into songs over time. It seems our songs take a bit longer because we let them write themselves. It is a very fluid process and over time they become what they are. We prefer it because it is very natural and not forced. The concept of Balance is what got me through the hardest of times. Our songs tend to jump the gamut as we love so many genres and styles but as time has gone on, we have become heavier and heavier. This is mainly because the world around us is such a shitshow and it is an honest response to all the moronic absurdity that greed and control have trapped us all into. We never set out or meant to be considered a political band. We see our songs as being about humanity and empathy rather than politics. This album is about release. About love and loss. Personally, we think there is nothing heavier than that. It is about being a good human being rather than fucking scum and I would like to think most of us have had enough of it. We, as a society, are only as strong as our weakest link and, in that regard, we are all one and we need to learn to stand together as a whole. Only then can we live in the paradise that this earth is meant to be. Not to be enslaved by the greedy hoarders who seem hell-bent on having it all whilst destroying everything in their wake, leaving the rest of us just enough to barely survive.’ ‘Balance’ is now available via digital download and limited-edition CD and cassette.
