Wolves At The Gate

It’s easy to get stuck in your head. Your thoughts become all-consuming, and you easily retreat into your own world. It happens to everyone, yet this internal place often never sees the light of day. However, Wolves At The Gate explore these spaces on their sixth full-length album, Wasteland [Solid State]. The quintet—Steve Cobucci [clean vocals, guitar], Ben Summers [bass], Nick Detty [lead vocals, keys], Abishai Collingsworth [drums], and Joey Alarcon [lead guitar]—pierce the surface and fearlessly plunge into the psyche. They soundtrack this journey with an unpredictable and undeniable hybrid of technically proficient metal, gut-punching hardcore, and arresting alternative melodies accented by entrancing electronic transmissions. Wolves At The Gate have quietly and naturally evolved since their emergence out of the Midwest in 2008. Their vision unfolded across albums such as Captors [2012], VxV [2014], Types & Shadows [2016], Eclipse [2019], and Eulogies [2022]. Blabbermouth rated the latter “9.0-out-of-10.0,” while mxdwn summed it up as “powerfully moving.” Along the way, the group tallied tens of millions of streams fueled by the likes of “Counterfeit,” “Deadman,” “Lowborn,” “Peace That Starts The War,” and more. Not to mention, they’ve performed alongside everyone from The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Red to Fit For A King, August Burns Red, and Born Of Osiris.
