Örebro, Sweden-based metallers WOLF have issued the following update:

"Hi Ghouls & Goblins,

We hope you are as heavy as we are. We'd like to give you all a little update on our doings as of now.

Songwriting for the next album have started and we're very excited! Some solid ideas are taking form and the ViperStudio will soon burn with Wolf-demo's. Niklas is on fire and when that happens, you gotta stand back.

Johannes will soon jump in the fire with him, and evetually the whole band will be joining in. We're really looking forward to topping 2009's Ravenous.

Writing mode is the best! We're also in talks with possible producer for the recordings and we'll keep u posted.

As you can see on wolf.nu - tour dates, we're playing a good run this festival season and we haven't announced everything yet. More to come for sure. Some surprises might be lined up. We can't wait to play the festivals stages and hook up with old and new friends again.

We're filming material for a upcoming video at the gig in Gothenburg on February 27th, together with Morningstar Films. Be sure to be in the audience so we can enjoy your energy. Tickets: www.ticnet.se.

Please check out our new guitar strap endorsement, Liszko, via our homepage. They are masters on what they do.

We'd also like to thank all that voted for Wolf for the Grammy award, best hardrock/metal chapter. We are honored!

Oh, and we got a new backdrop as well... with blood on it... fake, but still goddamn awesome!"

Wolf recently announced a mini-tour of their home country in April. Support on the trek will be announced shortly. Says the four-piece: "We couldn't afford a seven dates of hell tour, so we'll settle for three. See ya front row."

Dates include:

April

1 - Harry B James - Stockholm, Sweden
2 - Club Monster - Gävle, Sweden
3 - Tranan - Bollnäs, Sweden
