LONEWOLF Introduce New Guitarist
March 18, 2016, 8 years ago
French heavy metallers Lonewolf have a new guitarist. The band recently announced that Alex Hilbert decided to leave the band due to personal reasons.
Vocalist Jens comments: “Alex fascinated me with his amazing/unique sense and feeling for music and his incredible talent. I learned so much playing at his side/composing with him. You'll hear on The Heathen Dawn leads and solos that I dare to say are some of the best he ever made! A great conclusion to his "Lonewolf years", this album is the greatest gift he could deliver us for his last recording!”
Michael Hellström (pictured above), band leader of Elvenstorm, is stepping into Alex's shoes and has joined Lonewolf as their new guitarist!
Jens about Michael joining Lonewolf: “Replacing Alex is not an easy thing, but I do know one thing: Michael is the right man for the job, and the brother-in-arms that we needed. Technically, of course, but especially humanely. A brother is gone, another arrives. In the darkness there is always a light: Believe me, one thing is for sure... We are far from being buried and there are a lot of beautiful things to come!”
In the past few months Lonewolf have been busy writing and recording their upcoming album, The Heathen Dawn. They finished the recordings with Xavier Sindt at Microclimat Studio, and the album is being mixed and mastered by Charles Greywolf at Studio Greywolf.
Péter Sallai of Mortpaintgraphics created the album's cover artwork:
The Heathen Dawn is set to be released on May 20th via Massacre Records. More details to follow.
