A Danny DiVito from Raven about Unto The Wolves

 A quick note from Metal Times Owner/ Editor Wes J. I ran across Unto the wolves years ago when I was looking for bands to start up Metal Coffee and I KNEW the music would largely go unappreciated by the vast majority of Buckcherry and even the sometimes Metallica fan. Unto the Wolves is not music, it is an EXPERIENCE!! It has to be thought about and looked at from different angles it is work and it is enjoyable work. I know sometimes we want to air guitar " Cherry Pie" but if you are looking for substance worthy of comparison to " Edge of Sanity" even more acclaimed "Queensryche" UTW is thinking man's metal.

With that being said I think UTW are pure genius!!

Raven oh Raven you are my little sunflower of reviews and though most reviews you write are shorter than Danny Devito you nailled it on this single from UTW

"Unto the Wolves" is a Hard Rock/ Metal project with one goal in mind, to inspire tolerance and acceptance of all races, religious beliefs, and cultures. Every song is inspired by historical or religious writings found in books that are considered important by one religion or another. The songs are not based on the text found in these books, but rather served as inspiration for the ideas behind the songs. 

The music typically has a heavy edge but hesitates to label itself metal. The feel of the music is riddled with driving rhythmic guitars, a gritty bass, hard hitting drums accompanied by melodic and aggressive vocals. However, you'll also find an additional instrument or two in multiple songs based on what religious text and culture was chosen for the subject matter. In an effort to combine these ideals into a single project in a respectful manner, each set of writings is examined from multiple points of view. The “Year One” album was a year’s worth of work and truly offers a unique perspective on how music can be inspired by the way different people choose to live. The debut album is called "Year One" due to the content being created throughout the first year of the project.

“Fracture”

This Boise, Idaho band is as solid as they come. The entry to “Fracture” is a combination of some serious speed, thrash and a little bit of symphonic metal. The band wants to inspire tolerance and acceptance of all races, religious beliefs and cultures. Considering this song in my opinion is perfect to do just that. Defiantly a track that deserves some serious airplay.
