Impressive South Wales Post-Hardcore quintet When We Were Wolves unleash their explosive new EP 'Heartless', through all stores on Monday 22nd September. The rising bruisers will also tour throughout the UK this September.
Reared on a healthy diet of A Day To Remember, Slipknot and Parkway Drive, and adding to that genuine craft and an imaginative approach to penning highly engaging slabs of post-hardcore, 'When We Were Wolves' have sculpted a sound that is whole-hearted, progressive, and above all, utterly gripping.
Born during the middle part of 2011 and hailing from Bridgend, South Wales, the band soon set themselves on a course for playing as many shows as possible, which saw the five-some quickly amass a strong and loyal following. Their unbridled determination to deliver a ferocious, dynamic live performance at every show has earned them a glowing reputation, and in turn, has led the band to share stages with the likes of Bury Tomorrow,Born Of Osiris, After The Burial, Betraying The Martyrs, Bleed from Within,
Heights, The Blackout, Devil Sold His Soul, Malefice and The Amity Affliction, to name a few!
As well as being a growing force on the live scene, the band have worked diligently on recording, witnessed by last year's 'The More Things Change, The More We Stay The Same' EP, which secured
widespread national praise from Metal Hammer, Terrorizer, Big Cheese and Rocksound, through to radio airplay with XFM, Totalrock and Kerrang! Radio.
The record also racked up a stunning KKKK in Kerrang!, as well as a new band featurette in the magazine. Further UK and widespread European touring followed in support of the record before the troupe decided to hit Bandit Studios (home to Devil Sold His Soul) to commence work on their new record, soon to be titled 'Heartless'.
The band's follow up EP certainly delivers on all fronts, exploding with innovate ideas and cut-throat riffs. The first track and lead single, 'Dying On the Inside', soon slams you in the gut with its infectious groove that stomps and sways before a killer refrain blows you over. The menacingly brilliant and adrenaline-fuelled 'The Devil You Know' pounds it ways into

your head before 'Blind' continues to batter you into submission.
'Confession' is further evidence that When We Were Wolves knows how to execute an engaging slab of exhilarating post hardcore, packed with sheer intensity and gripping dynamics. Lastly, the EP's namesake, 'Heartless', rounds off the record with a captivating and passionate vocal performance by Mitch Bock, who really pulls it out of the bag.
'Heartless' is an EP that is destined to be heard, and with a UK tour confirmed for September, there's nothing stopping the band's swift rise.
