NIGHTWÖLF - UNLEASH THE BEAST

#review

BAND Lonewolf

ALBUM UNLEASH THE BEAST

LABEL Self Release

OUT 13/2/2020

OUR RATING 84/100

Formed in 2017, Nightwölf from Brazil was heir of the best old-school HM, both in music and in all the band’s aesthetics.

Deeply influenced by masters such as Judas Priest, Accept, Manowar and Iron Maiden, the line up consists of Jack Znake (Vocals), Adan Hessen (Guitar), Rafael Roan (Guitar), Guilherme de Almeida (Bass) and João Videira (Drums)

The band’s first record, a self-released EP entitled “Unleash the Beast”, was out on Feb 13th, 2020.

After an instrumental intro, the first shot is the title track, with edgy riffs, fast rhythm, roaring bass and brilliant vocals, reminding us the evergreen lesson of Priests and Maidens.

Faster and powerful next SHADOWMAKER, relentless classic, while PERPETUAL CRIME is more squared and grandiloquent, with a good bass’ job and solo parts again to remark.

One of our favs is HAILS OF HELL, more sinister and tougher and with the best solo of the whole EP.

Vibes from heavier Priests in HOLY MACHINEM which ends in the best way this great EP.

#NWOTHM ALIVE AND KICKIN’..ANOTHER BAND TO KEEP AN EYE ON!!
