Wülfhook-Sacrifice (Demo)

Self-Released/Independent
2012

I won't let the fact that Wülfhook hail from Detroit, Michigan negatively influence my review of their 2012 demo, the 4-track "Sacrifice". Even if they do hail from the home state of the Wolverines, who I hate with a passion,  this Buckeye fan truly appreciates ANY heavy metal band that flat-out shreds. And this 5-piece act, which is lead by the sinister & nasty vocals of Jeff "Sling" Schlinz, brings their A game on demo number three. Having shared the stage with Warbringer, Lazarus A.D., Diamond Plate, and Accept (not too shabby at all) the band is is currently working on material for a proper full length release in 2013. Speaking of Accept, who are of course true legends of heavy metal/thrash, the guys in Wülfhook are breed from the same DNA. That said the band, who are recommended for fans of Judas Priest, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Helloween and Pantera (per the brief promo that came with this beauty) also tap into the same kind of rough and ready mentality of bands like Motörhead and Tank. In other words this 4-track demo is pure metal for metalheads crafted by a bunch of guys who just scream "METAL!". What more could you possibly ask for?


You can find out more about these hard and heavy rockers at their Facebook page below where, incidentally, you can also download this demo and other material.

  3. No problemo. I'm as much of a Wolverine as you are a Buckeye, so I had to chime in. It's sorta like calling Cleveland the home of the Buckeyes!
