(Lone) Wolf & Cub

From, HeWhoCorrupts Inc

Metal. The conventional term has evolved from a true, pure form of unadulterated aggression into a commercial, fashionable product glorified by mass media. Even though the mass media has taken a ventured interest in the genre, an increasingly numerous amount of bands have gone to their roots to embrace and adapt the principles and fundamentals of metal. By utilizing crafty guitar work and a true form of precision songwriting, the men of (Lone) Wolf & Cub aim to remind kids that it's still cool to fucking headbang.

(Lone) Wolf & Cub evolved from two bands: La Mantra De Fhiqria and Dakota / Dakota. La Mantra embraced the D.I.Y. underground hardcore ethic of bands like Yaphet Kotto, Reversal Of Man, Combatwoundedveteran, and My Lai while Dakota / Dakota enamored its listeners with thick instrumental arrangements utilized by bands like Don Caballero and Sweep The Leg Johnny. Both bands didn't play metal, and that was a problem. Singer Tim Murphy, guitarist Rick Leech, and bassist Dave Miller of La Mantra joined guitarist Mike Sullivan and drummer Jim Myers of Dakota / Dakota and agreed that life doesn't matter if you're not in a metal band. Wolf & Cub started playing shows in May of 2004 and quickly drew crowds by playing with bands like Usurp Synapse, Tusk, and Daughters. Word caught on fast and Hewhocorrupts Inc turned up their hearing aids and quickly added the band to its evergrowing roster. A couple of months after the signing, Wolf & Cub replaced Jim with previous La Mantra drummer / maniac Rocky Senise and then replaced him with Randy formerly of The Ghost. Mike Sullivan went on to form the devastating Russian Circles. Quick to save the day, Wolf & Cub found a shredder in a man named Micah, who decided to step up to the plate and replace Mike on thrashing duties.

With their recent relocation to the Appalachians region, these boys have traded in their pickup trucks and acoustic guitars for battle axes and beards. Make no mistake about it, (Lone) Wolf and Cub torches all new school metal posers with their bare bones metal muscle. Whether their in the back yard training attack dogs or rubbing rocks together to ignite the fire for their next meal of meat, these men have one thing on their mind, destroy the living and devour the maggots they produce!
