Bad Wolves

Bad Wolves is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of DevilDriver, God Forbid, Meshuggah, Mudvayne and Sevendust. Those roots explain a lot about how Bad Wolves arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Nothing More, Light the Torch, I Prevail, Hellyeah and Sleep Theory, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The HU and RedHook, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around Bad Wolves, reaching back through DevilDriver and forward to The HU. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.

Background

Bad Wolves is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California in 2017. Initially finding fame from their first single, a cover of the Cranberries' 1994 hit "Zombie", the band proceeded to find further success with a number of songs topping the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart, including "Remember When", "Killing Me Slowly", and "Sober". The band has released four studio albums, Disobey (2018), N.A.T.I.O.N. (2019), Dear Monsters (2021), and Die About It (2023). In January 2021, original lead vocalist Tommy Vext left the band and was replaced by Daniel "DL" Laskiewicz. Tensions ensued between Vext and the band, resulting in legal proceedings including Better Noise Music. The band is currently undergoing lineup changes and is working on their 5th studio album. They recently announced the additions of Derek Bolman on bass and Sara “Killboy” Skinner as their new vocalist, making drummer John Boecklin the last original member remaining in the band.
