Pitch Black Black Records are delighted to present the
self-titled debut album of Ontario, Canada-based hard rockers AGE OF
WOLVES, out on December 10, 2021, on CD & Digital.
During the
time of a global pandemic, AGE OF WOLVES not only formed out of some
previously heavy hitting bands, but they managed to write and record an
album. Their self-titled debut is a barnburner of an album that rocks
from the first note to the last!
Despite having formed in October
2019 – right at the outset of our current “plague” – this is hardly a
bunch of rookies we are dealing with. Comprised of the tight and
integrated rhythm section of Ray Solomon (Thy Kingdom Slum, My Terminal
Ritual ) on bass and Dwayne LaFramboise (Thy Kingdom Slum, My Terminal
Ritual) on drums, inventive guitarist Al “Yeti” Bones (Gypsy Chief
Goliath, Georgian Skull, The Mighty Nimbus ) and the voice and lyricist
of the band, Michael Edwards (LoDown, Thy Kingdom Slum), the collective
experience behind AGE OF WOLVES amounts to well-nigh a century of
music-making. This fact shines through in the album, which is not only
executed with a firm and seasoned hand, but also displays an impressive
versatility in the song-writing department.
Built on a solid
foundation of classic Hard Rock and old school Metal, filtered through
1990s Alternative music, AGE OF WOLVES takes the listener on a dazzling
ride throughout Heavy Music legendry, without ever coming across as a
mere tribute to the past. Wrapped up in eight tracks, we are treated to
heavy-as-lead riffery straight out of early Black Sabbath, lyrical
twin-leads à la Wishbone Ash, cocky Zappa-esque observations, smoking
instrumental sections that will make every sideburn in sight burst into
flames and, not least, a deeply heart-felt paean to Irish Hard Rock icon
Phil Lynnot of Thin Lizzy. And yet the band is just getting started…
In
addition to defying the depressed state of current world affairs by
starting a band, recording an album and performing live, AGE OF WOLVES
also found time to feature in a documentary courtesy of visual creator
Syx Langemann, set for streaming via Amazon Prime.
The album’s opening track is now streaming and offered as a free download at www.pitchblackrecords.com and a second track is available as a lyric video at https://youtu.be/GrGkn9eEQok
