Blackwülf - Thieves and Liars (Full Album 2023)

Buy here: Forging melody, message, and authenticity with heavy raw power, BLACKWÜLF have been purveying massive riff-rock for over a decade, and now come roaring back from the pandemic hiatus with ’Thieves and Liars.’ Born out of the disintegration of the world around them, the new album encapsulates what the mighty five-piece does best: fist-pumping riffs, dark progressions, apocalyptic visions and plenty of epic heavy rock swagger. Drawing from influences found in the dark corners of your stepdad’s vinyl collection, the vintage five-piece outfit’s electric live performances and headbanging heaviness have converted a wide base of ravenous fans from Los Angeles to London. What distinguishes BLACKWÜLF from many of their contemporaries is a strong emphasis on “songs” rather than “sound,” delivering a wide slab of listenable vintage-style metal that draws strength from imaginative content and quality performance. ==== 1
