About Howling Wolves
HOWLING WOLVES from Berlin were formed 2014 after the disbanding of their prior Hardcore Punk Bands to continue their love for music. They released a Demo in 2015 followed by some local gigs. End of 2017 the Howling Wolves s/t 12“ was released and saw positive feedback in the scene and some great reviews. After playing and touring to support the record they started to write for the followup.
In the beginning of 2021 they recorded what would become the "As Above So Below“ LP.
Independent from the actual pandemic shit the songs deal with failure of humanity on all its levels. A lot of personal reflection on both sides of the spectrum are happening and end with a positive note. Its about losing deadweight like unnecessary relationships or hiding from the outside world. There is a will for better times and new starts. But in the end its: Fuck Them All, I will do it on my own.
We are happy to release this heavy rocking hybrid in 2022 with our partners from Karma Conspiracy Records. Lookout!
Here's the premiere of BAD COMPANY

The Howling Wolves Sound on the new record is like a mix of 80s Metal guitar heaviness, 90s Grunge catchiness, on a Stoner Rock vibe transported with the urgency of Hardcore Punk. So figure out! We call it Sabbath Punk because it feels like a mix of Black Sabbath Hard Rock Metal and Hardcore Punk with a nice dose of melody. So basically a hybrid of everything nice and heavy.

About the song:
Rick About writing About the Music of "Bad Company“
"We came up with the song as we jammed out that Black Sabbath Riff. It naturally became the Opening Riff of the song. Because we didn’t just want to copy it, but Keep the vibe , we changed it Right after the first notes and moved into that melodic catchy part directly after. As we love to fasten Things up we wrote that fast HC Punk like Chorus. „Bad Company“ got everything Howling Wolves is, its a great Display of our qualities.“
Felix adds what the lyrics of "Bad Company“ are about:
"consciously changing your ways of thinking and therefore altering your behavioral patterns to break your personal viscous circles and get a new perspective on life, is generally possible even though it sometimes appears like an impossible quest. Although it is helpful and necessary to have some critical or challenging voices in your social environment to not lose touch with your external impact, not every skeptic voice needs to be heard, after you chose a path. It’s a narrow ridge between irrationality and rationality, between constructive and destructive criticism. So at one point you may be forced to make a decision to ensure your personal growth“
