“Night Wolf” is an album that perfectly captures the magic Raging Speedhorn have been concocting over their 25-year plus career. Flitting between sludge, crushing doom and high-energy dirt-fuelled rock ‘n’ roll riffs, the sextet have matured like a fine wine and honed their craft to a new level.
Featuring ten tracks of ferocious, riff-centred metal that’s packed with strength, power, and, ultimately, song-driven groove, Raging Speedhorn are once again ready to provide an antidote to mediocrity and pedestrian radio-rock.
Recorded with Russ Russell (Napalm Death, At The Gates, Dimmu Borgir) at Parlour Studios in Kettering, UK, the relationship between RSH and Russell has been honed over many years – he has produced the Pledge Music-released “Lost Ritual” and “Hard To Kill”.
Morison,comments: “Russ really captures what we want to achieve and understands the band. We always work well together and, frankly, I wouldn’t want to record with anyone else at this stage.”
“Night Wolf” is the first album to feature new guitarist Daf Williams who joins founding members Frank Regan (vocals), Gordon Morison (drums) and mainstays Jim Palmer (guitar), Andy Gilmour (bass – who also plays with UK post-hardcore legends Hundred Reasons) and second vocalist Dan Cook. This reinvigorated line-up sees Raging Speedhorn not only capture the spirit of the band’s DNA but push their own musical boundaries and swagger into new uncharted territories.
Since the release of their eponymous debut in 2000, RSH have enjoyed a career built on stunning, unhinged, raucous live shows and albums to boot. They’ve played countless worldwide shows and festivals, sharing stages with Slipknot, Clutch, Biohazard, Enter Shikari, Skindred, earthtone9 and many more.
Notably, RSH opened up the infamous 2001 UK Ozzfest at Milton Keynes Bowl, playing in front of 50,000 metalheads; they received Kerrang! Award nominations; spent a night behind bars in Spain while on tour with Biohazard; and caused havoc during the 2002 Kerrang! Awards in London, resulting in Placebo’s Brian Molko joining in on the action and flipping over the band’s alcohol-laden table.
“Hard To Kill” was released during the global pandemic on the band’s own label Red Weed Records. Navigating the difficulties that ensued during that time, “Hard To Kill” was RSH’s biggest release in years and made numerous UK chart appearances: #11 Rock & Indie Chart, #7 Indie Breakers Chart, #26 indie charts, and #95 physical charts – the first time the band had chart success since 2001 – all without the backing of a record label!
Having started in their original hometown of Corby, while its members are now spread across the Midlands and South Wales, the teenage spirit of rebellion and kicking against the pricks still lies in the heart of Raging Speedhorn.
With “Night Wolf” the band is as ferocious and ready to rumble as ever.
“I love being in this band, it’s the only thing I’ve done for this long and I love playing music with these guys,” states Morison. “Why would I want to stop? It’s in your blood, you can’t stop. We were kids when we started, and it seems like I blinked and I’m still here doing this. We have a new album, a new deal, and if you think about it, there’s not many bands from when we first started that are still going like we are.”
He continued “It’s about chemistry and not giving a fuck and just believing in what you want to do. Honestly, it’s been the best being in a band with these guys, it’s just so easy. Every now and then there’s a bit of a bicker, but there’s never ever any arguments between us anymore, which I think is good. We all just get on really well, we love writing, we love hanging out, it just feels great. I wouldn’t want to be in a band with anyone else, and that’s half the battle there, isn’t it?”
As the saying goes, you can’t keep a good thing down.
