Wasteland (CD)

WOLVES AT THE GATE are back with a brand new album. In 2024, a core idea screamed out to guitarist Steve Cobucci, shaping the creative direction of the band’s next evolution. It slowly, but surely seeped into the DNA of the music and his words. As I was working on the album and especially the lyrics, I began to realize that the Wasteland was a metaphor for a frame of mind that I don’t want to live in, but a world I feel myself drawn back into over and over again, Cobucci reveals. “I hate it. It’s a world of empty promises. It’s a mirage. A counterfeit.”  The musicians carefully pieced together what would become Wasteland. Cobucci co-produced the 13-track body of work with Josh Gilbert of SPIRITBOX, while the band recorded in New Jersey, San Diego, and Los Angeles. This time around, they added multiple dimensions to their signature sound, layering intriguing interludes and electronic overtures into the framework.
