Werewolves is an Australian death metal powerhouse formed in Melbourne in 2019. The band functions as a supergroup of sorts within the extreme Australian scene, featuring members from The Berzerker, The Antichrist Imperium, and Akercocke.
This pedigree is evident in their sound, which marries the industrial-tinged speed of The Berzerker with a more traditional, albeit hyper-accelerated, death metal framework. Since their debut 'Antisocial' in 2020, they have maintained a prolific release schedule, often putting out a full-length album every year. Their sound identity is defined by a 'blackened' technicality that avoids the sterile pitfalls of the genre by leaning into a raw, punk-adjacent energy. Critical consensus highlights their ability to maintain extreme tempos without losing structural coherence. They occupy a unique space in the modern metal landscape, positioned between the old-school brutality of Blood Red Throne and the technical chaos of bands like Deivos, all while maintaining a distinctly Australian sense of cynical, confrontational humor.
