Werewolves
Black Lava – The Savage Winds to Wisdom Review
“Some musicians pour all their energies into one project, shaping and molding until they’ve chiseled their own David out of sonic marble. Others, like the members of Melbourne’s Black Lava, mix aural color across different mediums, leaving different permutations of themselves in the wake. Consisting of members of Vipassi, Ne Obliviscaris, and Metalstorm, these Aussies emerged from the wilderness two years ago with Soul Furnace, a sludgy platter of death metal completely different from its associated acts. Not content to rest on their laurels, the trio has churned out their sophomore album, The Savage Winds of Wisdom two years later.” The speakers are lava.
Werewolves – Die For Us Review
“Barring a short sample, one of numerous scattered across the album, “Get fucked” is the first lyric spewed forth on fifth LP Die For Us from Australian extreme metal anarchists, Werewolves. It’s a fitting introduction to the vitriolic assault on the senses the Australian trio unleash on their latest opus of controlled chaos and destruction.” Wolves in the trash room.
Werewolves – My Enemies Look and Sound Like Me Review
“Australia’s death-metal upstarts Werewolves channel the zeitgeist of the 21st century with their fourth full-length, My Enemies Look and Sound Like Me. Take in the apocalyptic imagery and try to imagine what lurks within. Gratuitous self-mutilation, friendly discourse between neighbors, a horse, and a guy plugging himself directly into the Hell-Matrix—truly an album cover that screams “everything is fine”. Everything is fire.
Heavy Moves Heavy 2022 – AMG’s Ultimate Workout Playlist
“Four mighty contributors shaped Heavy Moves Heavy 2022. Ferox, Thus Spoke, Holdeneye, and Steel Druhm each chose the ten songs released this year that dominated our respective workouts. The resulting playlist is appended to this article. Play it straight through or set it to shuffle; HMH is designed to work either way.” Go heavy because there is no going home.
Werewolves – From the Cave to the Grave Review
“I’m surprised we never covered Werewolves before on this blog. Their debut record, The Dead are Screaming—picked up by Prosthetic Records one month into the pandemic in 2020—fucking rulez. To my surprise, I somehow missed the follow-up they dropped less than a year later. Thankfully, I had my eye trained closely enough on this band to catch third outing, From the Cave to the Grave, before Werewolves slipped by undetected once more.” Pack attack.
