Leatherwolf Kill The Hunted

"Kill the Hunted" is the first new studio album of the power metal band Leatherwolf from Orange County / California, since "World Asylum" from 2006. The band is known for the use of three lead guitars, the so-called Triple Axe Attack. The new album is as uncompromising and deadly as the title suggests. It marks the latest chapter in the band's often turbulent history, with drummer and driving force Dean Roberts and longtime guitarist Rob Math joined by fierce new vocalist Keith Adamiak, young shredder Luke Man, who previously toured with the band, and the veteran pair, Barry Sparks (bass) and Wayne Findlay guitar), keyboards) ( both Michael Schenker Group). "Kill the Hunted" is an 11-course metal feast for the senses, ranging from razor-sharp daggers like the in-your-face opener "Hit the Dirt" and the face-kicker "Madhouse" to the anthemic "Only the Wicked," the prog-oriented multi-level gem , "The Henchman" (featuring guest lead guitars by Joel Hoekstra of Whitesnake) to the tense and brooding "(Evil) Empires Fall," whose vibes recall the crushing "Kill and Kill Again" from their 1984 debut of the same name. Leatherwolf also reunited with engineer Randy Burns (Megadeth, Kreator, Helstar) before putting the files in the hands of L.A. mastering legend Tom Baker (Judas Priest, Bruce Dickinson, Pantera) for the finishing touches.
