We Came From Wolves have never been far from my ears for about the last 3 years. From the thumping jaggy sounds of their “Paradise Place” EP to their supersonic self titles debut LP and up to now with the release of their 5 track EP “Haunt Me”
This band holds a special place in my musical heart, the plentiful number of gigs during 2015/2016 showed me what a hard working, determined and passionate rock band they are. I loved listening to their guitars, their beats, their bass, their voices and gluing all that together was Kyle Burgess’ very honest words, clearly drawn, pulled and set free from brain to voice to record. If the words on Paradise Place talked of cathartic scripture, the words on their debut LP WAS the cathartic scripture and now on “Haunt Me” they have given everything to create the 5 songs.
The opener “Falling” creeps in and crashes into a frantic paced stormer leading into a crowd pleasing sing-a-long chorus and a lad-chant that WCFW have always been good at (most notably on “An Eagle For A Fish” and “Butterflies”).. Recent single “The Peak Beneath The Sea” nestles in perfectly at Track 2, with it’s killer chorus, demon drums. Title track “Haunt Me” slows the pace down a notch, to wonderful effect, it’s softer yet still powerful chorus is a future audience arm waver, the kind of song you’d expect to hear in a montage at the end of a movie. Another recent single “Places Unfamiliar” storms in to it’s relentless rhythmic beats, verses and empowered chorus. Closer “This Never Gets Easy” begins with a lad chant before a harmonious verse and one of the passionate chorus belt-outs you’ll ever hear. From then on every last drop of Wolf is poured onto the listener, enough to imagine singer Kyle collapsed in a heap on the studio floor. This EP is essential listening, whatever your listening for you’ll hear it here. We Came From Wolves career trajectory will soon be likened to that of bands such a Twin Atlantic, their upcoming tour of Euro dates will garner a whole new set of fans, and deservedly so.
