Description

Clear vinyl with gatefold cover

Wolves Like Us formed from the remnants of a handful of respected Norwegian hardcore bands, and the four-piece outfit’s first release presents them as a more polished version of 90s American post-hardcore acts like Drive Like Jehu, though the presence of an Afghan Whigs cover in My Enemy hints at a more subtle melodic sensibility. Opening track Burns Like a Paper Rose starts the album off in fine form with choppy rhythms, a fine arpeggio sequence, and Lars Kristensen’s deep Southern rock-like howl, while Deathless and Sin After Sin offer a bit more a grungey feel. For a debut album, this is pretty solid stuff. It merges a bit of the old school sound with the more modern stuff for a mix of post rock and Slugecore with a bit more lively tone than one of depression and grudging.
