Released on Friday the 13th (as if that\u2019s going to make proceedings more spooky!), The Cult Of The Wolf<\/em> is the debut full-length outing from Brazilian quintet Nightw\u00f6lf.<\/p>\n

This is a band that plays straight up leather-clad metal, so what you get is plenty of fury and fire and a fantastic production, so major praise goes to the team at Hangar 408 studio. Slot this back into 1986 and you\u2019ve got a sure-fire winner as guitars blaze like autumnal fires, vocals soars like fireworks and drums and bass provide heavy artillery.<\/p>\n

Streaks of speed metal abound with the superb \u2018Under The Sky\u2019, and \u2018Reign In Metal\u2019 opts for a more traditional and melodic design but remains just as potent. Meanwhile, \u2018Glory Or Death\u2019 and \u2018Do Or Die\u2019 are charged with such a thrashing electricity.<\/p>\n

Yep, it\u2019s flaming hot metal that sizzles from start to finish; the vocals of Jack Znake are a molten joy, his pipes meander through smoking wastelands of metallic debris as alongside him drummer Jo\u00e3o Videira, bass man Guilherme de Almeida and axe men Adan Hessen and Rafael Roan construct thick walls of steel.<\/p>\n

Whether as a chugging juggernaut (\u2018Kill The Light\u2019) or majestically brooding (\u2018The Cult Of The Wolf\u2019), Nightw\u00f6lf boasts one hell of a colossal sound that will surely leave headbangers worldwide suffering from severe whiplash. The Cult Of The Wolf<\/em> is fantastic debut\u2026 buy or die!<\/p>\n
