WOLF

Filling hearts with metal

-As I said before, the album is gonna be released in February. Have you already booked some dates to promote it in best possible way?
We're booking some one off gigs in Sweden to "warm up" and we also got a finnish tour coming up. We're still in the planning stages in getting the Wolf machine to Europe. Waiting for bookers, promoters and such to get their shit together.

-You were supposed to tour with... METALLICA. What went wrong?
Nothing went wrong really. A rumour started in Sweden and we were asked by fans and people in the biz about the tour and we're like; what? when? how? We had to send out a statement since sending each and every one an email would have taken to long.

-Would you like to tour with them really? Your newest album is much more interesting and better produced, compared to „Death Magnetic”. That's for sure!
Well..it's goddamn Metallica. The band that inspired soooooo many million people and put thrash metal on the map. A band that, without them, the world would miss out on songs like Battery, For whom the bell tolls, Harvester of sorrow, Hit the lights...wouldn't THAT be a bummer ey? Fuck yeah, we'd tour with 'em!!!

-You guys have always had a great ability to write good heavy metal songs. Your studio albums feature plenty of them. When the time comes to work out the setlist for an upcoming tour, do you find it hard to choose the right songs? Any fist fight possible?
Yes, thats always hard since you have diffrent opinions but in the end everybody's satisfied. It's a give and take thing.

-OK, guys, two questions left. On your MySpace profile I saw some hot pictures of a nice looking metal chick with WOLF's Dean guitars, placed mostly between her legs. Could you give me more details (and her phone number), please!
Thats Lady Axe, the Official Wolf Dean guitar girl. She appears on Dean guitar pages aswell as adds for Dean guitars. She's also a merch model for bands. If I give you her number, I'd probebly answer the phone...if i'm not on tour. ha ha ha. Support: www.myspace.com/ladyaxe666

-What's next for WOLF? How do you see a future of the band? Are there no clouds on the horizon?
We wanna get out there and spread the music by touring. We believe in Wolf and heavy metal so even if there WAS any clouds on the horizon we'd just wouldn't give a damn!!!

-That's all. On behalf of Metal Portal I wish you the best for the future. Thanks for the interview! Any last words for our readers?
Thank YOU for the support. We are VERY proud to be a part of what we all love; Heavy Metal. And we hope to see you all frontrow at a show.
