Artist:  Wolfsbane
   Title: Wolfsbane Save The World
   Label: Howling Mad
 

The mighty Wolfsbane is back!!  It's official.  Starting off with 'Blue Sky' this infectious number will have you hooked immediately from the opening salvo of Steve Danger's drums, you are treated to a rejuvenated Wolfsbane, and Blaze Bayley's rising vocals will have you instantly hooked.

Jase Edwards shreds the guitar on the excellent tongue in cheek 'Teacher', this is Wolfsbane doing what they do best, but in a 2012 style and I’m loving it …

'Buy My Pain' comes rushing at you like a speeding bullet train, this is another track that will stick in your head for days.  You can imagine the band thrashing out this number in the studio and Blaze looking over to the rest of the band and saying ... “Yeah man, we are BACK!!!” ...

'Starlight' slows the mood down with a nice heartfelt number, giving you time to catch your breath, before we pump it up again to the anthemic 'Smoke and Red Light', already a crowd favourite.  An easy to pick up chorus to sing- along and party like a howling mad shithead too!!!  This is a stomper of a song!  It is a fun number.  Totally irresistible with Wolfsbane doing what they always did, and do best.

Next up is 'Illusion Of Love', something different from what you may expect from Wolfsbane.  A bit of a duo as Blaze Bayley and Givi Flynn sparing this one out and it works really well.  You won’t be disappointed at all.

'Live Before I Die' is another sing- along, getting drunk and singing your lungs out type of song!! ... "I`m gonna Live Before I die“!!

Really can’t fault anything with this album as the awesome songs keep coming at you.  'Who Are You Now' has many connotation’s and is just brilliant.  'Everybody's Looking For Something Baby' and 'Child Of The Son' are excellent, as we lead up to personal favourite 'I Did It For The Money', to round up this awesome masterpiece.  After waiting nearly twenty years, and maybe just maybe, it’s time for Wolfsbane to save the world with this album.  They are damn well going to try.  Let’s see them at Download and head-lining loads of venues this year, up where they belong with the rabid howling Mad Shitheads!!
