Video | WOLF ‘Skull Crusher’

‘Skull Crusher‘, the new video from Swedish metallers WOLF, can be seen below. The clip was helmed by Morningstar Film Production, which previously worked on the band’s video for the song ‘Hail Caesar‘ from WOLF’s Ravenous album.

Commented WOLF vocalist/guitarist Niklas Stålvind:

“We have never had so much fun making a video as we had on this one. Smashing a car into smithereens is something we always wanted to do without cleaning up after us or get in trouble with the police. It was the best exercise/therapy you could ever wish for. I felt like I was 10 kilos lighter in both body and spirit afterwards. We had to work hard to demolish it good. A Volvo is made in Sweden and hard to tear apart — just like this heavy metal band. This one is for all the skull-crushing metal heads out there — we salute you!”

This will unfortunately be the last piece of work with the group for longtime WOLF guitarist Johannes “Axeman” Losbäck who recently parted ways with the band and was replaced by Simon Johansson (Abstrakt Algerba, Bibleblack, Memory Garden). Simon previously played with WOLF in 2009 when they supported W.A.S.P. for four shows.

WOLF’s sixth album, Legions Of Bastards (see my review) was released in April via Century Media Records. The follow-up to 2009’s Ravenous was produced by Pelle Saether at Studio Underground in Vasterås, Sweden. The cover artwork was once again created by Thomas Holm (the man who was responsible for the legendary Mercyful Fate album covers for Melissa and Don’t Break The Oath).
