Wolves At The Gate have announced their fifth album “Eulogies”. It arrives on March 11th via Solid State Records. Today, the band has shared the video for the new song “Peace That Starts the War”.
“Most of my life was spent battling these inner struggles in a way that caused me to gain no ground against them” says singer/guitarist Steve Cobucci about the song’s lyrical heft. “I felt that they were totally my burden to bear alone — invisible to all that were around me, yet overwhelming to me in the confines of my mind. It wasn’t until I learned to rest in the peace that I could begin to start the war against all the darkness within me”.
Regarding the development of the song, he shares the unique way it came together over time, saying:
“Writing this song was a blast. Joey got the ball rolling when he dropped the main intro riff into our Dropbox. I built the rest of the song from there. We all got together in Columbus for a writing session to finalize the songs, and that’s where it really came to life. Joey wrote the guitar solo and end riff on the spot, and we were all literally yelling, screaming, and cheering him on as he tracked it. The same went for Nick when he tracked his scratch vocals for the end of that song. It was good times”.
Unrestricted by genre conventions and determined to raise the bar with each successive album, Wolves at the Gate deliver music and a message with a firm commitment to passion and authenticity. Tirelessly seeking out the light in seemingly overwhelming darkness, the Midwestern post-hardcore group balances soaring melodies with unrelenting metal and emotional heaviness. “Eulogies” arrives with confidence and forward motion born from reflection, introspection, and isolation.
The small-town Ohio-based five-piece band built the foundations for the album’s 13 songs during the pandemic shutdown, shaping diverse tracks like “Shadows”, “Peace That Starts The War”, and “No Tomorrow” into stunning confessional epics. Wolves at the Gate’s audience treasures each of the band’s best-known songs for the emotional depth, passionate catharsis, and evocative power contained in them, as evidenced by the millions of streams for WATG anthems. These include “Counterfeit“, “A Voice in the Violence” and “Drifter” (from 2019’s Eclipse); “Asleep“, “Flickering Flame” and “War in the Time of Peace” (from 2016’s Types & Shadows); “Relief” and “The Bird and the Snake” (from 2014’s VxV); “Dead Man“, “The Harvest” and “Slaves” (from 2012’s Captors), and “Heralds” (from 2011’s We Are The Ones). Previously, the band shared the video for “Lights & Fire“.
