Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
On Friday, October 25, mainstream rock breakout band Bad Wolves have released their sophomore album, N.A.T.I.O.N., worldwide via Eleven Seven Music, available now for order HERE.
Along with the release of N.A.T.IO.N., Bad Wolves has released a video for the single “Killing Me Slowly” Watch it HERE.
The “Killing Me Slowly” music video was directed by Nick Peterson on location in Los Angeles, CA. Lyrically, the song tackles the backlash of infidelity, and the consequences of when someone sets unbreakable boundaries, and in the end loses the thing they love the most, due to their own faults.
“After the success of ‘Zombie,’ a tragedy that transmitted it into a beautiful thing, having an entire community get behind the song is something that we can’t ever replicate, nor do we want to,” says Vext. “With this album, we wanted to hone in, focus on our own material, and let that speak for itself, and I believe N.A.T.I.O.N. does that. It’s a more focused and mature version of what people have come to love of what Bad Wolves has become, appealing to both our metal and rock fans.”
“N.A.T.I.O.N. is a representation of our fan base,” says Vext. Although the band has yet to disclose the full meaning behind the album title, the cover photo was shot by renowned photographer Haris Nukem. “When I saw the tattoo of the wolf, it reminded me of the thousands and thousands of fans that message us that they have our wolf logo tattooed on them. The wolf is a representation of our fan base, and to me, that’s what Bad Wolves Nation is. It’s our transparency and our art as it translates to people. We drew this bigger circle around our smaller circle of people, our wolf pack, who didn’t feel like they belonged. That’s what it means to us: it’s like you don’t have to be alone anymore. Haris did an exceptional job of really capturing a vulnerable moment, keeping it sexy and in line with our overall vision for the album art.”
