As reflected by the evocative simplicity of their name, Sweden's Wolf are a throwback to an earlier, simpler time, when the New Wave of British Heavy Metal was defining most of the sub-genres (speed, black, etc.) still very much in vogue today. Of course, ultimate purists that they are, these subsequent developments bore little interest to the members of Wolf, who used their eponymous debut album to reach back beyond them to replicate that era's unmatched sense of wonder and excitement. Not surprisingly, their quest led them straight to the galloping riffs, dual guitar harmonies, mystical subjects, and soaring vocals of Iron Maiden, and most pundits would agree that the results are nothing short of stunning for their authenticity of spirit, as well as, more importantly, their own merits. First up is the thrilling, one-minute-and-forty-three-second opener "In the Shadow of Steel" -- so short and sweet, you can't believe it Wolf could stand to leave it at that. Thankfully, the hyper-energized trio take a little more conventional time to enjoy their next set of similarly outstanding singles candidates: the excellent "Moonlight," "The Parasite," and the sitar-introduced, naturally Eastern-flavored "Electric Raga." Up next, "The Voyage" is only slightly less memorable, the back-to-form "Desert Caravan" slows things down just a bit to let its majestic melodies effectively conjure up the barren, wind-blasted vistas of its namesake, and yet the ensuing standout "The Sentinel" (not a cover of the Judas Priest track, incidentally) arguably tops it with its stunning intro section and rampant, galloping charge thereafter. The instrumental workout "243" is, ironically enough, a tad on the dull side (just like most Iron Maiden instrumentals), and epic closer "In the Eyes of the Sun," resurrects that under-utilized sitar for a final salute to the revered lords of steel. In summation, despite the admittedly dramatic descriptives used above, prospective fans should not fear a Manowar-like metallic sideshow of Wolf, whose songwriting and general philosophy is far more simple and nowhere near as deluded. Rather, they're the real deal in terms of vintage heavy metal. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

| | Wolf Evil Star CD (2004)
Wolf CD music
$12.15 
Wolf has taken the music of '80s heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and boiled it down to its essentials to produce a fast, loud, driving sound. From the high-pitched vocals to the effectively simple guitar solos, the band has got its formula down pat. Admittedly, the formula does get a bit repetitious by the end of the album because of the lack of adornment or variation -- there are no wimpy ballads, ponderous dirges or experimental excursions here -- and the band doesn't have much emotional nuance or range; basically, they rock, rock, and then rock some more. Also, some of the guitar solos run a bit long, which pushes three songs over ...
| | Wolf Black Wings CD (2002)
Wolf music CDs
$10.49
After an absolutely stellar year 2000, Wolfe's eponymous debut had seen them bursting out of the gate in seemingly unstoppable fashion, Swedish vintage metal enthusiasts Wolf came back for a second go-round with 2002's Black Wings -- a still quite inspired collection of updated New Wave of British Heavy Metal anthems lacking only a few ingredients to match its predecessor. Specifically, Black Wings occasionally failed to ignite the same sense of excitement and danger so effortlessly displayed by the band's first set of songs. Maybe it was the new album's slightly more polished production standards, maybe it was the band's desire for a mainstream hit, or perhaps it was simply the price of increased maturity costing them that extra bit of crackle and pop. But whatever the reason, new, efficient and hard-charging compositions like "Night Stalker," "Demon Bell," and "A World Bewitched" seemed to leave just a little to be desired. That's not to say, of course, that some of the other offerings on hand didn't find Wolf ...
| | Starz Violation CD (1977) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Wolf songs
$10.45
Starz' sophomore album, Violation, was quite similar to its predecessor. Jack Douglas was still the band's producer, and Starz continued to favor the type of slick, commercial hard rock that would be called pop-metal in the '80s and early '90s. This 1977 LP didn't establish Starz as major players in the pop-metal field; the New Yorkers did have a small following, although not a huge one. Nonetheless, this is an enjoyable record. It doesn't contain any pop-metal masterpieces like Kiss' "Shout It out Loud" or Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz," but tracks like "Cherry Baby" and "Rock Six Times" are certainly decent. Most of the time, Starz vocalist Michael Lee Smith sings about the same things that Kiss and Sweet were singing about in the '70s; namely, all-night parties and wild young women in tight dresses. Starz's lyrics, as a rule, were meant to be fun, not profound, and while Violation didn't go down in history as one of pop-metal's all-time classics, it's worth hearing if you're a fan of the style. ~ Alex Henderson

| | Witchcraft Firewood CD (2005)
Wolf album
$13.55
Ask a group of doom metal or stoner rock enthusiasts what band was the blueprint for the doom/stoner field, and the vast majority will -- without hesitation -- say Black Sabbath. So when a band is as Sabbath-influenced as Witchcraft, it is understandable that some headbangers would describe them as a doom band. But Witchcraft isn't nearly as forceful or as heavy as Eyehategod, Orange Goblin, or Toadliquor, and Firewood isn't typical of what has been considered doom metal and stoner rock in the '90s and 2000 -- actually, this 2005 release shows no awareness of post-'80s metal or even post-'70s metal. Rather, Firewood is a total throwback to the heavy metal, hard rock, and psychedelic rock of the late '60s and very early '70s. Black Sabbath's first few albums with Ozzy Osbourne are a strong influence, and the Swedish band's other inspirations include Jethro Tull, Cream, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and the great but underexposed Budgie. If one didn't know for sure that Firewood was a 2005 recording, it would be easy to assume that the disc was recorded around ...

Wolf album
$15.65
Max Cavalera's fourth outing under the Soulfly banner finds the former Sepultura frontman as fierce as ever. Beginning with the wailing siren riffs of the title track, PROPHECY combines new-world issues with old-world religion. Throughout the album, the dreadlocked Cavalera conjures up images of Zion, using spiritual themes as an intriguing counterpoint to razor-sharp guitar lines and tight rhythms.
As on past Soulfly records, the songs often consist of movements, rather than more conventional structures; "Living Sacrifice" features a dub-like breakdown, while "Mars" incorporates an extended flamenco guitar solo that morphs into a reggae jam. However, there's still room for some pure, undiluted metal, as revealed on a powerful, straightforward ...
| | Uriah Heep Return To Fantasy CD (1975) Bonus Tracks; England
Wolf CD music
$12.79
Uriah Heep's 1975 record features the hard-rocking tunes "Shady Lady," "Devil's Daughter," and "Shout It Out."
The 2004 remastered British edition includes seven additional tracks.
After two albums that downplayed their penchant for gothic sounds and mystical lyrics, Uriah Heep brought these elements back to the fore on 1975's Return to Fantasy. The resulting album retains the musical experimentation that marked Sweet Freedom and Wonderworld but has an overall harder-rocking feel that makes it more consistent than either one of those albums. Return to Fantasy throws down the gauntlet with the title track, which builds from a tapestry of spooky synthesizer and organ riffs into a thunderous rock tune where the guitar and organ duel over a galloping backbeat laid down by Lee Kerslake. It's bracing stuff and one of the finest rockers in the Uriah Heep canon. The rest of the first side continues in a similarly strong hard rock vein and its other key highlight is "Beautiful Dream," a song that marries stomping hard rock verses to a spooky, ethereal chorus that sounds like it could have been plucked from a mid-'70s Pink Floyd album. On the second side, Uriah Heep gives themselves over to experiments that, while listenable, cause the album to lose focus. For instance, "Prima Donna" is a sardonic commentary on the rock & roll world that features a prominent brass section and prominently overdubbed Beach Boys-style harmonies, while "Your Turn to Remember" is the ...

"Kerry Drexler, guitar-smith wunderkind will wow the audience with his guitar & voice and a couple effects and loop machines" - Chris VB, Tipsy V Presents"Kerry Drexler and his magic one-man-bandandery... Expect some surprises to come from this man as he tames his machines into a whirling symposium and keeps all his limbs intact in the doing" - Chris VB, Tipsy V Presents"As the owner of The Crossroads in Garwood, New Jersey, I am always pleased when new talent crosses my stage. I am even more pleased when that talent is popular with my customers, consistently bringing in a crowd...Kerry is one of those young men who is a joy to bring back into the club, with the confidence that his music will be enjoyed by the crowd" - Lee Frankel, Owner of the Crossroads, Garwood, NJ"Kerry Drexler has a lot of natural musical ability. It was a pleasure working with him and I look forward to doing so again in the future." - Matt Wilson, owner of FLO StudioWhen Kerry Drexler takes the stage, people notice. This is because Kerry Drexler is not your average singer/songwriter. Although only one man is on stage, Kerry's songs are so full of sound that it often feels as if an entire band is performing. Drum beats, bass lines, multiple guitar lines and three-part vocal harmonies can be heard throughout a Kerry Drexler performance. Kerry is able to pull this off with his army of effects pedals on the floor.With all of these tools, Kerry is able to breathe life into his genre-defying songs. Although influences such as Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, Dave Matthews, Howie Day and Guster can easily be heard in Kerry's music, Kerry always finds a way to put his own unique signature on all of his songs. From one song to the next, Kerry's songs each stand as their own musical statement, be it a slow fingerpicked ballad or an uptempo rocker.This variety in Kerry's musical styles stems from his past. Kerry first picked up a guitar when he was seventeen and quickly thereafter started playing gigs. Kerry played solo, as an acoustic duo, as an acoutic trio with percussion, in a bar cover band and an original pop-punk ...
