Full Album Stream: Wolverine: Communication Lost – new album

Swedish progressive metal band WOLVERINE has just released new album entitled ‘Communication Lost’ via Candlelight Records; American fans will have to wait until June 21st, 2011 for their copy. The band is extremely proud of ‘Communication Lost’ especially since due to some complicated personal developments within the band after the release of WOLVERINE's previous effort, ‘Still’, this album almost never came to be. Lyrically, the album deals with personal issues the band and its individual members experienced during the four years spent on composing the material. ‘Communication Lost’ was produced by the band itself, recorded at various locations in Sweden, mixed by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Denmark and mastered by Eroc at Eroc's Mastering Ranch in Germany:

 

WOLVERINE was formed in 1995 by Marcus Losbjer and Stefan Zell. The pair was soon joined by Stefan's younger brother Mikael, and after some experimenting with melodic death metal and after signing with Zizania Entertainment Group, WOLVERINE released a mini-CD, ‘Fervent Dream’, in 1999 to enthusiastic reviews. In 2001 WOLVERINE recorded their debut full-length album, ‘The Window Purpose’, which was released through DVS Records, again to overwhelmingly positive reviews. New bassist, Thomas Jansson, joined the band about that time to allow Stefan Zell to focus solely on vocal duties. 2003's ‘Cold Light Of Monday’ came out via Elitist Records, a sub-label of Earache Records. In 2005 WOLVERINE traveled to Germany (and the Spacelab Studio) for the second time to record the album ‘Still’, had split with Earache Records somewhere along the way, and signed on to Candlelight Records for the release of their third full-length in 2006. ‘Still’ went on to become WOLVERINE's best selling album to date and earned the band some great reviews, including 5/5 mark from Kerrang! magazine. 

WOLVERINE features: Per Henriksson – keyboards, Thomas Jansson – bass, Marcus Losbjer – drums, Mikael Zell – guitars and Stefan Zell – vocals.
