Century Media has announced that the forthcoming Wolf platter, Legions 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.

Legions Of Bastards's artwork was once again created by Thomas Holm, the man who did MERCYFUL FATE's legendary Melissa and Don’t Break The Oath covers. Check it out below:

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!”
