Wolfpakk - Rise Of The Animal

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Yep. Still the greatest promo shot of all-time!

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Okay, and the song's not bad, too. But those guys look a little too intense.

[heavyharmonies]

Song is ok, but uber-formulaic. With the guest lineup on the album, it will be interesting to hear how other songs compare...

[Geoff]

Who's the close-to-retirement car mechanic with the hat who sings the second verse? I don't mind this either. I'll always be interested in any project with Voss in it (except that Beggars Bride fucking garbage), but I don't expect much at all from this. Just standard Biss-type hard rock / metal.

[Nightrain]

Kinda forgettable, a bit harsh maybe but I just wish Voss would revive the old CASANOVA line-up and bring something at least close to the first two albums

[exact3]

i liked the first 2 and the new song sounds good so i will have to track it down.

From the sound of the vocals, I'd wager it's Marc Storace from Krokus.

[Dead Planet]

It is formulaic but if the formula works why mess with it....I'll pick it up....

Obviously Marc Storace!

 

And the song is solid imho. I would rather enjoy an album of tunes like this one (Sock It To ME).

[Geoff]

Wow, cool list of guest vocalists. But what's this - Charlie Huhn (Ex-Gary Moore, Foghat)?? Yeah, I guess Victory isn't really worth mentioning, hey? Only one of the best bands ever...

 

Anyway, Nightrain, I agree about Voss. He is involved with so much - as many as any other miso in the genre. But so few significant projects. I actually still really like the Silver disc from last year, to be honest. It's really very nice. But he didn't pen one of those songs. I'd love to see a new Casanova album with him writing melodic rock songs as he does best.

[Metal_Warrior]

the first 2 wolfpakk albums were disappointing despite the great guests, but will give this a chance

[heavyharmonies]

This album is all over the map, as is typically the case with albums loaded with guest performers.

[AlphaMale]

Very basic average stuff IMO.
