Then formed as Wolfpack, the outfit unleashed three LP&#8217;s and as many EPs of their potent crust-inspired punk in less than five years, instantly making a massively influential impact worldwide and helping fuel an entire new wave of &#8220;d-beat&#8221; bands and scenes internationally. With some personnel changes at the turn of the century the band kicked off the new millennium under the revamped moniker\u00a0<strong>WOLFBRIGADE<\/strong>. Since then the band&#8217;s already powerful attack became even more sinister and morose, yet more aggressive and pummeling. Following four LP&#8217;s and several splits and mini-releases under the\u00a0<strong>WOLFBRIGADE<\/strong>\u00a0banner since 2001, the outfit have remained at the top of their game and continue to release invigorating and demoralizing socially-aimed antagonism on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>The band&#8217;s newest LP, and first for Southern Lord &#8212; simply and aptly entitled\u00a0<em>Damned<\/em>\u00a0&#8212; will hit the streets in North America early next year. A top-notch surge of\u00a0<strong>WOLFBRIGADE<\/strong>&#8216;s primal and hateful attack,\u00a0<em>Damned\u00a0<\/em>levels all in listening range with its 12 devastating anthems in under 35 minutes. Recorded at renowned Gothenburg-based Studio Fredman by Frederik Nordstrom (At The Gates, Amon Amarth, Opeth) the record showcases the band arguably at their finest hour. Check out the cover art for\u00a0<em>Damned<\/em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.earsplitcompound.com\/site\/?p=3907\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>With select touring planned in both Europe and USA throughout 2012, and at least two more releases confirmed for release via Southern Lord, it&#8217;s safe to say that we&#8217;ll all feel the sting of\u00a0<strong>WOLFBRIGADE\u00a0<\/strong>quite a bit in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"wb1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.earsplitcompound.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/damedcover-e1323705710164.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"474\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Damned<\/em><\/strong><strong>\u00a0Track Listing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
