Album lore

Bear Mace’s 2025 release Slaves of the Wolf arrives on the band’s own imprint, a self-titled label that underscores their uncompromising stance. The album’s eight tracks traverse the aggressive territories of death, groove, speed, and thrash metal with a rawness that recalls mid-2000s underground scenes. Cuts like “The Iceman Cometh” stand out for their tight riffing and pummeling rhythms, delivered with a precision that belies the record’s visceral impact.Recorded and released in the same year, Slaves of the Wolf captures a band steeped in metal’s more abrasive lineages without resorting to excess. The track titles—such as “Worthless Lives” and “Heretics Burn”—reflect lyrical themes common to the genre, while the overall production favors clarity over gloss. With a modest but dedicated following, Bear Mace stakes their claim as artisans of metal’s enduring, harsher forms.
