Bad Wolves is an American heavy metal band formed in 2017. Initially finding fame from their first single, a cover of the Cranberries’ 1994 hit “Zombie”, the band proceeded to find further success with a number of songs topping the Billboard Mainstream Rock songs chart, including “Remember When”, “Killing Me Slowly”, and “Sober”. To date, the band has released two studio albums, Disobey (2018) and N.A.T.I.O.N. (2019).
The band consists of vocalist Tommy Vext (ex-Divine Heresy, ex-Snot, ex-Westfield Massacre), drummer John Boecklin (ex-DevilDriver), lead guitarist Doc Coyle (ex-God Forbid), rhythm guitarist Chris Cain (ex-Bury Your Dead, ex-For the Fallen Dreams) and bassist Kyle Konkiel (ex-In This Moment, ex-Scar the Martyr, Vimic).[4] They are managed by Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch.
The band toured with Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, and Starset in the first half of 2018.[13] In October 2018, the band launched a crowdfunding campaign to create a documentary about their formation and rise to fame. The film would be called “Breaking the Band”. By the end of the campaign, they had raised under $15,000 of their $65,000 target. Despite this, the band received all the donated money and still intend to create something for the project.
Since their inception, the band has shared the stage with the likes of Five Finger Death Punch, Nickelback, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, Papa Roach and Nothing More. They also recently had their cover of ‘Zombie’ nominated for the iHeartRadio’s Rock Song of the Year.
On July 26, 2019, the band released a new single titled “I’ll Be There”, followed by another single titled “Killing Me Slowly”, a third single titled “Sober”, as well as a fourth single titled “Crying Game” and announced their new album, N.A.T.I.O.N. which was released on October 25, 2019.
Two unreleased singles were released on April 10 on Patreon. The two singles include a cover of “Heart Shaped Box” by Nirvana and a new song called “Shanghai”.
