This Friday, March 15th, will see Copenhagen based Heavy Psych Rockers Redwolves release their hotly anticipated debut album, Future Becomes Past. Moving between modern Rock n Roll, intelligent vocals, heavy grooves and finest guitar licks, Redwolves manage to combine the classic Scandinavian sound with a fresh approach. Only a few days left until its official release on the ever-growing label Argonauta Records, the band is already sharing Future Becomes Pasttoday and exclusively with New Noise Magazine!

”We are so excited to finally unleash our debut “Future Becomes Past” to the world!”The band comments. ”It is filled to the brim with rock and roll and we hope you will enjoy every single minute of it! It has been a long journey and the time is finally here – and you will realize at last; Future Becomes Past! Have fun!”

Redwolves formed in 2012 and found a musical community in their common affinity for the classic heavy rock and the 00’s new wave of Scandinavian rock. The band’s upcoming album will be a noticeable further development of Redwolves ‘ expression which through the records’ eight songs unfolds itself in a songwriting carrying catchy melodies, energetic and virtuoso musicianship and a modern and analogue attentive production by Jacob Bredahl (Riverhead, LLNN, Rising a.o.).

The band describes their music as “modern classic heavy rock” or at other times “future rock”. Both terms appropriately describes how heavy Rock n’ Roll effortlessly can remain relevant, as long as the classic virtues and a good dose of edge and innovation keep being present. Redwolves ‘ first full-length is a complex record, that shows several aspects of Redwolves ‘ talent for writing songs with both directness, catchy hooklines, dynamics and experimentation. This record will be party, light and joy, but equally despair, darkness and depression – and with good reason….

When Redwolves had started off the songwriting for their debut, a brutal incident occurred which was to be determining for the album. On New Years Eve 16/17, singer Rasmus Cundell was the subject of a violent attack which carved its deep traces, both personally and within the band. The event caused a delay of the creative process but at the same time, the band became an important catalyst for pulling through. The lyrics were written after the attack which therefore naturally constitutes the thematic subject matter of the album. On a personal level, the violence spawned a spiral of depressive and fearful thoughts but also on a more general level, the incident initiated a contemplation in regards to the possibilities of agency in a world that appears hostile and destructive.

Even though many of the songs origin from this depressive state, one still senses a path towards the light in the music, and it is this adamant hope that the record will remind you of. As the good sides of life can put depression, hopelessness and contingency into perspective, the negation of life can also put perspective on joy and light: “Especially because we all will perish soon, we must insist on living, partying, loving and not to be conquered by darkness, hate and destruction.” The band explains. “And thus, we must necessarily seek to journey out of the dark again.”
