Wolfbrigade (formerly Wolfpack) is a Swedish crust punk band formed in 1995 by Jocke Rydbjer, Frank Johansen, Erik Norberg, Marcus "M. Psykfall" Johansson and the vocalist Tomas Jonsson (known for being part of the local crust punk band Anti Cimex) their line-up has included members of Asta Kask, To What End?, Cosa Nostra, Obscure Infinity, and Harlequin.

History

Singer Tomas Jonsson was forced to leave the band in 1998 and was replaced by Micke. At around the same time, the band changed their name from Wolfpack to Wolfbrigade to avoid association with a Swedish neo-Nazi prison gang who shared that name. In 2002, drummer Frank left and was replaced by Dadde. The band split up in 2004 because of lack of motivation and Micke needing surgery for vocal cord problems. Four of the members started a new band, Today's Overdose.

On 7 January 2007, Wolfbrigade announced that they were reuniting. Wolfbrigade imported bassist Johan from Today's Overdose and released a comeback album, Prey to the World, in June 2007. In 2008, the group released Comalive. Wolfbrigade went on a one-year hiatus from playing live in 2011, and then regrouped for the release of Damned in 2012.

Wolfbrigade's last album The Enemy: Reality was released Fall 2019 through Southern Lord Records. They released an EP, Anti-Tank Dogs, on August 12, 2022.[1]

Pitchfork Media praised the Damned album and described them as combining crust punk and melodic death metal in a manner similar to Disfear.[2]

In 2024 the band signed with Metal Blade Records and released the album “Life Knife Death”.

Influences

The band's earliest influences were Anti Cimex, Strebers, Asta Kask and Puke. Once they took the name Wolfbrigade, they then also embraced the influence of At the Gates, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, Entombed, Circle Jerks, Napalm Death, Poison Idea and Motörhead.[3]
