It’s a surprisingly diverse, metal-tinged d-beat hardcore from one of the hardest working and enduring bands in the genre. In conclusion, Anti-Tank Dogs is a short but glorious return for Wolfbrigade. Much slower than expected, the song sounds like coming straight out of the Amebix and Killing Joke school of songwriting. Mikael changes his vocal style again, while the instrumentation relies on repetitive mid-tempo chugs and a dark atmosphere. Clocking in at five minutes, however, the third song “Necronomium” is the biggest surprise on the record. The second track “Brain-Ruler” is the fastest and shortest one on the record, harking back to the glory days of the band when they ripped so hard. The track is exactly three minutes long, and halfway through the song Wolfbrigade take a distinct death metal path with vocalist Mikael Dahl throwing septic-gargling vocals for a brief moment. Opening with the title track “Anti-Tank Dogs”, Wolfbrigade kick things off with a wail of feedback before exploding into their usual motörcharged d-beat style. Anti-Tank Dogs also sees the band coming back to their roots, being released by hardcore punk labels like Agipunk in Europe and Armageddon Label in the States. So why care about Wolfbrigade’s new EP? Well, first of all, I love 7-inch records and it’s just twelve minutes of music anyway. The following Comalive LP that came out in 2008 was so bland and boring overproduced crap that I’ve lost interest, and, as blasphemous as it may sound, I’ve never listened to the subsequent three albums- Damned, Run With The Hunted, and The Enemy: Reality -all released through the big metal label Southern Lord between 20. This fame, however, has also alienated underground nerds like me, and I kinda stopped caring about the band since their 2007 Prey To The World LP. Wolfpack’s Lycanthro Punk, Allday Hell, and Wolfbrigade’s A D-Beat Odyssey EP are, in my opinion, among the best d-beat records in the history of the ‘genre’.Įver since then, the band has been reinventing the classic Discharge sound and carving a unique path towards working with well-known producers and playing huge festivals with some of the biggest names in metal music that almost no other in this subgenre has been willing to explore. Well, where should I start? Entire generations of bands have come and gone since Swedish d-beat legends Wolfbrigade (formerly known as Wolfpack) came into the scene in the 1990s.
