The next two new songs from French heavy metallers LONEWOLF - 'Legacy Of The Wild' and 'Hail Victory' - taken from the forthcoming studio album The Dark Crusade,are available for streaming at the band's MySpace page.

'Legacy Of The Wild' is band's personal tribute to RUNNING WILD, the German heavy metal legend that had the biggest influence on Lonewolf.

The Dark Crusade will be released on November 11th on both CD (Karthago Records) and vinyl (Killer Metal Records). The CD version will include bonus track 'The Hour 0', while the vinyl version - which will be available in 500 copies - will include a different bonus cut, 'Burning The Icons'.

The Dark Crusade was mixed and mastered by the Grammy-nominated guitarist Andy La Rocque (known from cooperation with bands and artists such as KING DIAMOND, HAMMERFALL, FALCONER, etc.), and was produced by Bart Gabriel (editor-in-chief of the biggest Polish rock/metal magazine Hard Rocker, who also helmed albums from such groups as CRYSTAL VIPER, SABBAT and KAT).

The front cover artwork (pictured) was painted by Chris Moyen, the legendary French artist who has previously worked with SLAYER, TRIVIUM, DESASTER and many others.

Guest musicians on the CD include Majk Moti (ex-RUNNING WILD, now in WILD KNIGHT), Jan Bünning (PARAGON) and Marta Gabriel (CRYSTAL VIPER).

The Dark Crusade is being promoted with the slogan "The Reaper has returned to the Black Hand Inn", as it was strongly inspired by classic albums from such cult acts as RUNNING WILD, GRAVE DIGGER, X-WILD, U.D.O. and ACCEPT.

In other news, after ultra-successful feedback the band got from fans at the Hard Rocker Festival 2 in Poland, the group will again invade Polish

lands on January 30th, 2010, and will share the stage of the Progresja Club in Warsaw with acts such as Wild Knight and Crystal Viper.
