WEREWOLVES BAND MEMBERS FORM BLACK METAL GROUP FAUSTIAN

Dissatisfied with merely swamping the world with death metal, WEREWOLVES form black metal trio FAUSTIAN in order to drag down the already low quality of the world’s shittest form of music.

“We Come as Angels” was recorded during the Plague of 2021-2022 when Sam Bean (THE BERZERKER, THE ANTICHRIST IMPERIUM), guitarist Matt Wilcock (THE BERZERKER, ABRAMELIN, THE ANTICHRIST IMPERIUM), and drummer Dave Haley (ALL THE FUCKING BANDS, LITERALLY ALL OF THEM) decided they weren’t busy enough with their annual WEREWOLVES release.

“We’d done our third album in two years, an EP, plus all our other bands, and it just wasn’t enough. Not enough!” cried Sam. “If we’re only doing one album together a year, we’re lying fallow for eleven months. So this one’s black metal and it’s fucking ugly. We should be able to grunt an album out every six months which is more acceptable to us, if no-one else”.

He added “You’re all lucky I can’t sing for shit otherwise there’d probably also be a thrash metal band, a metalcore band, and a Christmas single”.

Guitarist Matt said “I’m a fan of the fundamentalist approach of the early Scandinavian scene, bands such as MARDUK and SATYRICON who go between harsh blasting and raw simple riffing. Sam is into the more modern take of ANAAL NATHRAKH and PORTAL, anyone who sounds monstrous and possessed. Dave loves the oldest most frostbitten IMMORTAL, grimly digging up the turfs, and hissing wildly at crucifixes. If the WEREWOLVES aesthetic is violence, then FAUSTIAN’s is fear and horror.”

“To be honest, everyone should just let us write their albums for them”.

Drummer Dave Haley may or may not have said, “Eternal blastbeats. Why live in the moshpit as veal in the pen when you can drink the blood and dance with the shadows? While you grow old and withered and only release one album every five years, we are untouched by the centuries. Through black metal we are reborn to life everlasting. Buy our album. Join us.”

The album was mixed and mastered by Joe Haley (PSYCROPTIC), with the masters interred in the earth at Hobart’s Cornelian Bay Cemetery for three days to get the precise sound. Artwork is by Jason Peppiat (also PSYCROPTIC) and logo by Christophe ‘Lord of the Logos’ Szpajdel. “We Come as Angels” comes with seven tracks and has two bonus non-album tracks and is self-released because no record label on this earth can keep up.

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

A incredibly unique experience. A harmonious mixture of harsh and serene musical influences, manifesting itself into an incredibly solid album. Blackened Death Metal meets almost an Opeth clean vocal arrangement. Highly recommend. Abyssius Murkraken
