Southern California triple axe attack, LEATHERWOLF, have posted a brand new video for the song 'Dr. Wicked (Rx O.D.)' off the band's current studio album, 'New World Asylum.' The clip, which can be viewed below, was directed by Karpis Makusdian who also lensed the group's 2006 video for 'Behind the Gun.'

'New World Asylum', released on the group's NIL8 label, marks the return of original vocalist/guitarist Michael Olivieri who had left the band termporarily in 2003 and was replaced by Wade Black (ex-CRIMSON GLORY). The album was mixed by noted Danish producer Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, ROB ROCK, MERCENARY) at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark.

'Dr.Wicked (Rx O.D.)', which was inspired by the infamous 'Dr. Death', Jack Kevorkian, who was released last year after serving 8 years in a Michigan prison for second-degree homicide for aiding in the death of a terminally ill patient, deals with the subject of assisted suicide. "It's a controversial subject matter for sure but one that concerns all Americans and everyone else for that matter", states co-producer/drummer Dean Roberts. "How do you balance the right to choose when and how you want to exit this mortal coil, which is very much a personal thing, and at the same time safeguard against abuse where individuals may want to play God with your life."

On the live front, Leatherwolf have been confirmed as co-headliners for the inaugural edition of the Kansas City Power Metal Fest, set to take place August 8-9 at the The Riot Room in Kansas City, Missouri. Leatherwolf will perform on Friday, August 8 alongside fellow Californians CAGE, PHANTOM X, SEVENTH CALLING and others. For more info visit www.kcpmf.com/
