Age of the Wolf [Sludge/Doom Metal - CR]

(Sludge Doom Metal - Costa Rica)

Hailing from Costa Rica, the Sludge/Doom/Post-Metal outfit kicked off in 2016, releasing their
debut self-titled EP. It covered quite a different spectrum, focused on a more heavy metal/hard
rock outfit. In 2019, with the release of their debut album “Ouroboric Trances”, they break their past
selves through a heavier, dirtier and overall bigger sound.
“Ouroboric Trances” ranges from groovy/heavy blended songs such as “Herald of Abyssos” and
“Goddess of the Hunt”, doom-drenched beast riffs in “The Crimson Penitence” and “Molten Earth”,
melancholy-filled “Witches’ Gallows”, with a guest violin solo by Ricardo Ramirez (from Grammy
Award-winning band Editus), there’s even a flashback song, mixing the old self-titled EP sound with
the new sound, “Bloodrage”, shows what Age of the Wolf is able to pull off in a 43 minute package.
“Ouroboric Trances” was released on May 10th, 2019 on Vinyl, CD and digital platforms through the
world renowned Italian label Aural Music, well known for being one of the top labels in scouting
and discovering new talent all around the globe.

The band was set to play their first US show in March 2020, at the Stoner Jam during SXSW, but the
COVID-19 pandemic cancelled those plans. This became an opportunity for the band to regroup
and start writing new music for their next release. Along this process, the idea of creating a record label came to fruition. This became Cognitive Discordance Records. Memorial (B-Sides) was
released in October 2020. This was the first release for the label.
In January 2021, the band participated in their first virtual US fest, Mutants of the Monster,
alongside bands such as Telekinetic Yeti, -16-, Yakuza, Sunrot, and more. They also finished a Split, alongside Aural label mates TEL, released on CD and Tape via Electric Talon Records (USA) in August 2021.

Age of the Wolf is:
Christopher de Haan - Guitars // Vocals
Jorge Camacho - Bass // Vocals
Gabriel Ortiz - Drums // Vocals
J.C. Zuñiga - Guitars // Vocals

In May 2023, the band is set to release their sophomore album titled “A Pilgrimage to Nowhere”.
The album is a continuation of the story from their split release with TEL. The band dwells into
heavier, experimental territory. Embracing a much more raw sound, the new album tells the story
of Saar, the main character from the split. Continuing his search for purpose, Saar embarks on a
journey of enlightenment and sacrifice. Trials and tribulations arrive along the path, only to find
what truely matters deep within.
“A Pilgrimage to Nowhere” will be released on CD/Digital via Sleeping Church Records and on Tape
via Three Moons Records.
