Details: Raging Speedhorn - the pioneers of UK down-tuned epic sludge rock - return with their incendiary new album Night Wolf. Featuring ten tracks of the sextet's ferocious, riff-centred metal packed with strength, power, and, ultimately, song-driven groove, the album perfectly captures the magic Raging Speedhorn have been concocting over their 25-plus year career. Flitting between sludge, crushing doom, and high-energy dirt-fuelled rock 'n' roll riffs, the sextet have matured like a fine wine and honed their craft to a new level. Night Wolf is the first album to feature new guitarist Daf Williams who joins founding members Frank Regan (vocals), Gordon Morison (drums) and mainstays Jim Palmer (guitar), and Andy Gilmour (bass - who also plays with UK post-hardcore legends Hundred Reasons) and second vocalist Dan Cook. This reinvigorated line-up sees Raging Speedhorn not only capture the spirit of the band's DNA but pushing their own musical boundaries and swagger into new uncharted territories. Recorded with Russ Russell (Napalm Death, At The Gates, Dimmu Borgir) at Parlour Studios in Kettering, UK, the relationship between the band and Russell has been honed over many years - he produced Lost Ritual and Hard To Kill. The result is an album demonstrating a finely tuned songwriting finesse that once again makes the sextet stand out like diamonds.
