│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Sweden certainly has all the metal bases ║ │
│║ covered, having solidified epic doom ║ │
│║ (Candlemass, Avatarium), death metal (Unleashed, ║ │
│║ Dismember, Entombed), melodic death metal (At ║ │
│║ the Gates, Dark Tranquility), and power metal ║ │
│║ (Sabaton, HammerFall). Flying the Svenska ║ │
│║ Flaggan for pure traditional for the last 19 ║ │
│║ years has been the metal beast Wolf. The group ║ │
│║ may not be as well-known globally, but it really ║ │
│║ should be. Since the self-titled debut album was ║ │
│║ issued in 1999, few traditional bands have put ║ │
│║ out such consistently phenomenal material as ║ │
│║ this quartet. While in recent years the speedier ║ │
│║ part of the band that was a little more ║ │
│║ prevalent on releases like ôWolf.ö ôBlack Wingsö ║ │
│║ and ôEvil Starö has given way to more mid-paced ║ │
│║ material, the band has never lost a step in ║ │
│║ terms of absolute power, catchy melodies, and ║ │
│║ bad ass solos. ôDevil Seedö is another solid ║ │
│║ release in that long tradition. Though it may ║ │
│║ need a little time to gestate, ôDevil Seedö will ║ │
│║ quickly grow and take over your stereo leaving ║ │
│║ you muttering ôROWWWWà..ROWWWWö (youÆll know it ║ │
│║ when you hear it). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Outside of ôShark Attack,ö ôDemon Seedö wonÆt ║ │
│║ knock you out with its speed. Similar to its ║ │
│║ predecessor ôLegions of Bastards,ö the instant ║ │
│║ release will slowly wrap around you like a ║ │
│║ flexing python and squeeze while granulating ║ │
│║ your mind with sharpened riffs in tracks like ║ │
│║ ôSurgeons of Lobotomyö and ôThe Dark Passenger.ö ║ │
│║ The guitar mastery at work has much more ║ │
│║ distinctive grind, notwithstanding phenomenal ║ │
│║ solos that fly much higher, courtesy of ║ │
│║ vocalist/guitarist Niklas Stalvind and the ║ │
│║ bandÆs new master Simon Johansson ║ │
│║ (Bibleblack/Memory Garden), who makes his studio ║ │
│║ debut since joining in 2011 after the release of ║ │
│║ ôBastards.ö ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ IÆm not sure if it is an odd coincidence, but I ║ │
│║ have always looked at Wolf as SwedenÆs answer to ║ │
│║ Accept û a pure bred metallic onslaught with no ║ │
│║ additives, where songs were guitar driven and in ║ │
│║ your face. Perhaps it is the soulful guitar ║ │
│║ solos that are very much in the vein of another ║ │
│║ Wolfà..Hoffmann. The comparison ends there ║ │
│║ though, as Wolf (the band) has its own distinct ║ │
│║ sound (especially NiklasÆ vocals). It does say a ║ │
│║ tremendous amount about a band though when you ║ │
│║ can connect it with legends. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The pace of ôDevil Seedö takes a little getting ║ │
│║ used to, but it is not as if Wolf has never had ║ │
│║ mid-paced songs before. In fact, that sort of ║ │
│║ pace has been growing predominant throughout the ║ │
│║ bandÆs back catalog as time moves on. Songs like ║ │
│║ ôSkeleton Womanö (a grisly tale of a cannibalism ║ │
│║ and bone collecting), ôThe Dark Passenger,ö and ║ │
│║ ôI Am Painö are fast growers, drawing the ║ │
│║ listener in with a little more depth, growth, ║ │
│║ and progression than the mid-paced movers from ║ │
│║ the bandÆs past. Album favorites include ║ │
│║ ôSurgeons of Lobotomy,ö ôKilling Floor,ö ║ │
│║ ôFrozen,ö and the fantastic ôRiver Everlost.ö ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Where ôDevil Seedö ends up in the annals of ║ │
│║ WolfÆs discography still remains to be ║ │
│║ determined. It is another solid release of pure ║ │
│║ metal that should be expected from one of ║ │
│║ SwedenÆs finest. One thing is certainàWolf ║ │
│║ continues to progress along a fine line, stays ║ │
│║ very true to it's established sound and never ║ │
│║ disappoints. ItÆs those fist pumping anthems ║ │
│║ that prove to be perfect in a live settingà.and ║ │
│║ that truly is the ôDevil Seed.ö ║ │
