"Voodoo", the new video from Swedish heavy metallers
WOLF, can be viewed below. The clip was shot in UmeƄ, Sweden with director
Owe Lingwall of
Village Road Film, who previously worked with
WOLF on the video for the track
"I Will Kill Again".
Commented the band: "Both the song and the video has that dark imagery that
WOLF fans know and love. Having these brilliant voodoo kids in the video along with the spiders and other creatures of the night, we think we really hit the spot with this one. Working with
Owe Lingwall again was also a delight. We really love how it turned out and we can't wait to bring this song to our live set."
"Voodoo" comes off
WOLF's new album,
"Ravenous", which will be released via
Century Media Records on the following dates:
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Italy: Friday, February 20
Spain, Portugal: Tuesday, February 24
Sweden, Finland, Hungary: Wednesday, February 25

The CD features a guest guitar solo by
Hank Shermann (
FORCE OF EVIL,
MERCYFUL FATE) and guest vocals by
Mark Boals (
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN,
ROYAL HUNT).
For the fierce and bloody artwork, the band once again decided to work with its longtime cover artist
Thomas Holm (
MERCYFUL FATE).
"He has the ability to 'paint our music' and that's something we're not gonna pass up on,"
WOLF explained.
Topped off by the phenomenal production by
Roy Z (
BRUCE DICKINSON,
JUDAS PRIEST),
"Ravenous" promises a heavy metal delicacy par excellence!
A new
WOLF song,
"Curse You Salem", is available for streaming on the band's
MySpace page.
According to the group, "
'Curse You Salem' is a genuine
WOLF song. We think it's got all the elements our listeners demand from us and we're certain our fans will listen to it and go, 'Hell yes, that's
WOLF!' We felt that while writing it, and bringing it to life while recording it was a blast. It will most certainly be included in our live set. The song deals with the witch hunts that took place in Salem, Massachusetts somewhat 300 years ago and the lyrics are written according to actual events as well as real people connected to the events that took place. This song and topic fits
WOLF like a spiked wristband on
Kerry King!"
