Bad Wolves: A Heavy Metal Force to Be Reckoned With

Bad Wolves, hailing from the heart of the heavy metal scene in Los Angeles, California, burst onto the scene in 2017. Their initial claim to fame came with a powerful rendition of The Cranberries' 1994 hit, "Zombie," which quickly propelled them into the spotlight. They followed this with a string of successful singles, conquering the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart with hits like "Remember When," "Killing Me Slowly," and "Sober."

The band has released four studio albums that showcase their signature heavy metal sound: "Disobey" (2018), "N.A.T.I.O.N." (2019), "Dear Monsters" (2021), and "Die About It" (2023).

However, the band's journey has been marked by a significant change in 2021. Original vocalist Tommy Vext departed, leaving a void filled by Daniel "DL" Laskiewicz. This transition sparked tension between Vext and the band, resulting in legal proceedings involving Better Noise Music.

From Humble Beginnings to Heavy Metal Titans:

Bad Wolves' story starts with drummer John Boecklin (ex-DevilDriver), who began writing the music that would become their debut album back in 2014. He entered AudioHammer Studios in Sanford, Florida, with producer Mark Lewis in 2016 to give life to his vision.

In 2017, Boecklin joined forces with vocalist Tommy Vext (ex-Divine Heresy, ex-Westfield Massacre), lead guitarist Doc Coyle (ex-God Forbid), rhythm guitarist Chris Cain (ex-Bury Your Dead, ex-For The Fallen Dreams), and bassist Kyle Konkiel (ex-In This Moment, ex-Scar The Martyr, Vimic). Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch took on the role of manager for the band, who were ready to unleash their heavy metal fury upon the world.

Their debut album, "Disobey," was released in May 2018. Ten out of the thirteen tracks on the album had been written and recorded before Vext joined the band, showcasing the foundation of their powerful sound.
