WOLF Guitarist Sitting Out Finnish Dates With W.A.S.P.

Johannes Axeman of Swedish heavy metallers WOLF has issued the following udpate:

"As some of you seen/know, I'm sitting out the WOLF dates opening for W.A.S.P. in Finland (October 21-24). There's no need to worry, I'm not out of the band, I'm simply tied up in other engagements that were too late to reschedule. I wish for nothing else than to rage with my fellow WOLFs and our Finnish fans, but I just couldn't get out of this one. Standing in for me is Simon Johansson, who you all know from MEMORY GARDEN and BIBLEBLACK. Yes, I know, he's not as good-looking as me, but, man, he can shred!!! I see you all on the next trip to Finland. I will then play two guitars at once to make up for the gigs I'm sitting out. For sure!"

WOLF's latest album, "Ravenous", is now available as a luxurious LP, including a poster, a killer gatefold sleeve and the entire album on CD as a bonus, strictly limited to 500 copies!

The "Ravenous" LP edition is only available in Sweden, Germany and the U.K., so vinyl lovers head out and get this hellish piece of metal!

"Ravenous" was released in North America on March 24 via Century Media Records. Out in Europe since February, the CD features a guest guitar solo by Hank Shermann (FORCE OF EVIL, MERCYFUL FATE) and guest vocals by Mark Boals (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ROYAL HUNT). For the fierce and bloody artwork, the band once again decided to work with its longtime cover artist Thomas Holm (MERCYFUL FATE). Topped off by the phenomenal production by Roy Z (BRUCE DICKINSON, JUDAS PRIEST), "Ravenous" promises "a heavy metal delicacy par excellence!"
