Ov Wolf and Cow




Time to howl my dear milker friends! Just let it all out like it's a full moon again. C'mon, no one hears you... Okay, enough. I was wondering what would come out a crossbreed of a cow and a wolf. Perhaps a wolf with a weird, smelly and cetainly-make-you-to-laugh metabolism? Or a fucking cool looking carnivore cow? I honestly don't know but I do know that EVER CIRCLING WOLVES is more than your average everyday Joe can handle when meeting a real wild animal.
This band, once again from the vast metal music swards of Finland, is worth to bring out of the dark corners of a black barn after long and tiring winter season. As many of you very well know some pretty famous Finnish death/doom metal bands, like
SWALLOW THE SUN, there are many many many bands still looking for their milky shot and their change to show to the whole wide world what they are cabable of delivering. EVER CIRCLING WOLVES is still without a record deal but I am sure that in no time, before I have time to milk my next gallon of creamy product, these guys from our capital, Helsinki, will write their names with blood (as every decent metal band should do, right?) to a some sort of contract. Hopefully a bloody good one!

Anyway, EVER CIRCLING WOLVES was originally just one-man band, mainly being the main project of singer/guitarist/song writer Henri Harnell, and it still is, other bands being melodic death metal band
MEDICATED and death/thrash moonster MORG. In 2007 he wrote the first self-released demo tape Picturesque, Petrified, which can be bought and heard from their MySpace page. While the demo tape was completely done by himself (lyrics and songs written and performed by Henri Harnell, only drums tracked by Dani Nuutinen), it didn't take long for him to find other members in his band. In 2009 there were altogether four members: Henri Harnell handling guitar and vocal tasks, Otto Forsberg in other guitar, Arttu Kantola in bass and Niko Karjalainen playing drums. These four young musicians recorded their debut album The Silence from Your Room the same year.


Now let me tell you one thing: if you ever come to a situation, like you most likely will be in next few months, where you get bored of the constant sunshine, (butter)flies around your tasty ass and happiness around your fellow ruminants, then look..or listen to no further because the cure is right here! And it feels so much better than your daily enema. The Silence from Your Room will help you fight against fake smiles, wannabe-huggers and kissers and way too energetic friends of yours. All you need to do is get back from the field to your own lovely and warm barn, hit all the lights off immediately, creep under your bed, close your eyes, settle like a foetus and then simply let the lingering timbres from A Desperate Frolic to Shai-Hulud (The Creator Worm) flow into your ears. I guarantee you won't be the happiest moo-(wo)man after that. But it's not like you wanted to be anyway. So moo-hoo.
