Wolfpack Unleashed are one of a breed of new bands, alongside contemporaries such as  Evile and Municipal Waste, who are attempting to bring back old school, Bay Area style Thrash to a new generation of metal fans.

An example of the legacy upon which Wolfpack Unleashed draw their inspiration for Anthems Of resistance is album opener “Last Dance Of A Dying King”,  a track which comes across as a cross between heavyweights Metallica and Destruction. Elsewhere on the CD “Religion Of Control” proves to be a blistering no nonsense thrash track and gives notice that  frontman Günther Wirth has a fantastic set of lungs, his singing style being both melodic, yet at the same time remaining abrasive and extreme. And Wolfpack Unleashed, as with all the best bands of the genre can mix things up, ”Next Victim”, a real riff-fueled beast proves slower than the other tracks but none the less is still a winner. As for the final track, “Wolfpack Unleashed” itself, it just goes to shows the musical marksmanship of the Pack.

As with many of their forebears Wolfpack Unleashed deal with a a variety of themes lyrically throughout the length of Anthems Of Resistance: anti-war, religious extremism, the last moments of Beethoven in “Eroica” as well as abuse/abortion and personal loss, all making for a heavyweight album.

These Austrians may have only been around since 2005, but the Pack is strong and musically there are no flaws. If you like thrash and melodic death metal then definitely go and get this album!
