Swedish hardcore punk veterans WOLFBRIGADE have unleashed a video for "Ways To Die." The punishing new track comes by way of the band's long-awaited Life Knife Death full-length, out now on Metal Blade Records!

Comments the band, "This is a little gem about the human creativity when it comes to ways of punishing and killing each other in the most terrible ways. Take the sadistic practice of 'rat torture' for instance, involving strapping a bucket full of rats to a victim's naked torso. The bucket is then heated from the outside. The rodents chew their way into the very bowels of the victim in an attempt to escape the heat. All the way through the doomed person's flesh, and any organs it happens to encounter on its way to freedom. No living being is meant to be caged."

The video for the track was directed by MeANkind with director of photography and editor Jacob Frössén.

Forged in 1995 in the small Swedish city of Mariestad by key players from Sweden's legendary hardcore scene, WOLFBRIGADE - previously known as Wolfpack until 1999 - stands among Scandinavia's most respected, influential, and reliable purveyors of real-world brute-force tumult. On Life Knife Death, thirty years of skill are honed to a fine edge and dispatched with greater style and intensity than ever before. Most immediately, there's the sheer velocity and barely controlled rage pumping through dynamic d-beaten blood-shakers like "Ways To Die" and "Your God Is A Corpse," the furious attack assisted to heart-fluttering greatness by a newly loosened sense of raucous spontaneity.

Writes Distorted Sound in part, "The band remain a towering monument to an almost swaggering brutality; death metal elements adorning the already bloody hardcore jacket are tokens of successful rampages in years' past on proud display. Be that through the sheer audio thuggery of 'Ways To Die' or the anatomy-altering bombast of 'Unruled And Unnamed,' there is heaviness here that will punch holes through even the most vinegar-soaked critics." Adds Rock Hard Germany, "With an aggressive energy that is unparalleled in the genre cosmos, the collective around singer Micke Dahl once again becomes the mouthpiece of the contemporary anger that drives us all every day and can be catalyzed here for at least half an hour. If you also like the cover artwork of Celtic Frost's Morbid Tales, you will be hooked on Life Knife Death for that reason alone."
