Century Media has announced that the forthcoming WOLF platter, Legion Of Bastards - due out April 19th - will be released in North America only as a digital download, meaning there WILL NOT be any physical CDs produced for the market. The upcoming album from Finnish metallers NORTHER Circle Regenerated, in stores the same day, will also be available solely via digital downloads.

Physical CDs of both albums will be issued in Europe, diehard fans are advised to seek out the imports.

Wolf comment on their new album: “Legions Of Bastards is the fruit of lots of hard work, sweat and blood. Our music has always come from the heart, but this one seems to us even more honest and straight forward than any other album we've made. We're not afraid to say that this is a GREAT album. If you love it, like we do, raise the horns and bang your head! If you don't - we don't care. We'd still be banging our heads!”

'Vicious Companions'

'Skull Crusher'

'Jekyll & Hyde'

A 4-minute medley of several new tracks from Norther's Circle regenerated album are available here.

After the departure of vocalist / guitarist Petri Lindroos (now in ENSIFERUM) in 2009 and a revamped line-up featuring former Imperanon frontman Aleksi Sihvonen and NAILDOWN guitarist Daniel Freyburg, Norther will successfully prove with Circle Regenerated that even these obstacles will not be able to stop this ultimate Finnish metal force!

Kristian Ranta (guitars / clean vocals)

Aleksi Sihvonen (vocals)

Heikki Saari (drums)

Jukka Koskinen (bass)

Tuomas Planman (keyboards)

Daniel Freyberg (guitars)
