We're Wolves Releases "Life of a Parasite"

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 07/02/2022

(WEST PALM BEACH, FL) -- We’re Wolves has released a high-octane live video for their newest fast-paced, hard rock single “Life of a Parasite.” The video was shot on-location at Kraken Music Festival, where they performed alongside The Used, Story of The Year, and more. It features exclusive footage from backstage, on-stage, at their meet and greet, and in secret locations hidden in the venue.

The track comes from the band’s full-length concept album Evil Things, which features guest spots from Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Bryan Kuznitz of Fame on Fire, and Rain Paris. Although the song itself has a more aggressive message, the video is a dedication to their loyal fanbase and a celebration of their unforgettable live shows:

“'Life of a Parasite' is a song about disloyal and dishonest people with hidden agendas who mask themselves as your friend. It’s an anthem of caution for those out there who give too much of themselves to their relationships. A sonic backbone for people unable to stand up for themselves, and a massive f***k you to the people I thought were my friends."

"This video is dedicated to the people who represent the exact opposite of the song’s meaning. Our loyal, loving, and super supportive fanbase. It was shot on-location at Kraken Music Fest and it highlights what’s most important to us… the fans and giving them a show they can be proud of. Without them and their support, we are NOTHING.” - AJ Diaferio, Vocalist of We’re Wolves.

We're Wolves is a dark-humored, horror-loving, energetic blend of metal subgenres and hard rock. The band is constantly pushing the boundaries of entertainment through satirical yet theatrically-morbid visuals that play off of their carefully crafted aggressive sound. We’re Wolves have conceived their first full-length album Evil Things, a diverse collection of songs designed to connect to the sinner in all of us. Based on Dante’s Divine Comedy, the album takes the listener on a sonic and lyrics journey through the underworld of Hell. Forged in the fires of the inferno, Evil Things delivers a ground-shattering debut for We’re Wolves. The album also contains features from Bryan Kuznitz of Fame On Fire and Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills.

We’re Wolves first burst on to the music scene with their cover of Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff,” which garnered a huge response for the band, with over 1.6 Million views on YouTube, and 675K streams on Spotify. Their debut single, “Dissonance,” off their EP The Hunger reached over 400k streams landing the band on the Spotify editorial “New Core” playlist. The band has continued to please fans of metal and horror alike with their cover of “Bodies” by Drowning Pool being featured on Spotify’s “Metal Covers” playlist, and the cover of Disturbed’s “Down With The Sickness” has been revered by the original band themselves. Answering the call for new original music and covers alike, We’re Wolves released their debut full-length, Evil Things in October 2021.
