Black metal band from Serbia formed in 2022. Wolforder channels raw black metal from the Serbian underground.
Death metal band from Brunssum, Netherlands active since 2016. Wolfp.a.c.k. delivers brutal death metal from the Limburg mining region near the German and Belgian borders.
Formed in Leoben, Styria, Austria in 2005, Wolfpack Unleashed play a technically oriented brand of thrash metal that draws heavily from the Bay Area tradition — particularly the precision and harmonic sophistication of Megadeth-era Rust in Peace and Metallica's Master of Puppets. Their debut album Anthems of Resistance (2007, Napalm Records) showcased an abundance of melodic lead work, harmonic runs, and shred-oriented soloing within a framework of aggressive modern thrash. The band has remained active as an independent act since departing from Napalm Records.
Heavy metal project from Berlin, Germany formed in 2016. Wolfpakk delivers classic heavy metal from the German capital with an emphasis on anthemic riffs and powerful vocal delivery.
Wolfpussy formed in Portland, Oregon in 2012, channeling the city's love of heavy, slow, and sun-baked into a stoner metal sound built on thick riffs and unhurried groove. Portland has long nurtured heavy music that values texture and feel over technical complexity, and Wolfpussy fits squarely in that tradition — the kind of band that wants the room to move together rather than stand in awe. Their name alone signals a band with a sense of humor about the gravity its genre sometimes takes too seriously.
Power and heavy metal band from Helmstedt, Germany formed in 2022. Wolfs Moon forges traditional power and heavy metal in the German style, built on soaring melodies and driving rhythms.
Heavy metal band from Tamworth, England active since 2011. Wolfsbane delivers classic British heavy metal from the Staffordshire town with an emphasis on riff-driven power.
Pagan black metal project from Brandenburg, Germany active since 2011. Wolfsbaum channels the flat, ancient landscapes of the Mark Brandenburg into atmospheric pagan black metal steeped in Germanic nature mysticism.
Black metal project from Neu Anspach, Germany formed in 2014. Wolfsblood delivers raw, primal black metal from the Taunus highlands of Hesse.
